Hi..
welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Atishay Bukharia would be answering your questions..

Lyrica is Pregabalin and is usually given for neuropathuc pain so in your case it could be drug reaction, other causes of swelling with itching is VARICOSE ECZEMA, RESOLVING CELLULITIS and sometimes simple edema can cause itching so for further management it would be nice to visit doctor to find out the exact cause behind it..

hope it helps
