Yes Lyrica will help.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic.
I went through your History, you have been diagnosed as having Sciatica, right?
Sciatica can be caused due to either compression of nerve or due to Neuropathy. So I need to know whether any cause for your Sciatica was found or not ?
You said you have Stenosis . Where exactly you have Stenosis?
Lyrica helps in both Neuropathy and sciatica due to compression. But if your Sciatica is due to compression of the nerve , ideal treatment would be surgical decompression of the nerve.
Kindly get back to me with details asked for further discussion .
Regards.
