Will lyrica help with chronic neck pain?

Answer by  JillB (47)

Lyrica is a common prescription for Shingles and Diabetic nerve pain. It is not approved for other types of nerve pain. If you qualify for the drugs use, it may well be of benefit. However, read the Medication guide and prescribing information. This should be a common practice with any new medication as patients differ in responses to the drugs.

Lyrica should never be taken without your doctor prescribing it. Lyrica has side effects which can be life threatening. My suggestion is go to a recommended pain clinic.
