Does Lyrica Cause Severe Pain In The Muscles And Joints?
My husband was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy about 4 1/2 years ago and has been on 100 mg of Lyrica twice a day. He suffers from severe joint and muscle pain and spends most days in a recliner. No one seems to know what the problem is. Could Lyrica be the cause?
