Hi

Yeap I get tingling too - what did the surgeons say to me? - tingling is better than numb anyday. It means that i have feeling in the legs.

That made me a happy grateful soul and I shut up quickly.

And yeap so did me legs start to hurt too - but was told this was a sporting type pain as it meant i was using them muscles, i had not before, because i couldnt, because i couldnt move as much before lyrica. I questioned this no more. It sure did hurt though and took a lot of courage to get thorough - but its been and gone now.

Yeap lyrica sure does sound a scary drug to take - but look at paracetamol, and Ibuprofen and fags, and alcholol side effects......If the doctor thinks theres no problems there most likely isnt. Saying that keep an eye on things and go back if not happy. There are other things than lyrica. We take it as a trial drug for sci - I have been told anyway that is what the spinal surgeon said it is. There are always other drugs out there if no happiness is found.

All the best wishes

Miss cloud
