I took my first dose of Lyrica last night before bed. My PCP prescribed tramadol as well. This morning I awoke feeling just as lousy as I was last night. I took the tramadol at around 10am. . By this afternoon I realized 'hey... I'm not hurting as bad'!
The nerve pain has lessened a bit and my shoulder feels much better. I'm able to lift it laterally without the severe pain it causes. I don't want to jump the gun but hopefully the Lyrica will be the ticket to relief.
Coincidentally, there's an article in "Cure" magazine on the subject.
