Question : Iv hurt my knee badly will pregabalin 75 mg help me with the pain I've tried all the normal pain killers even been using fentanyl 25mcg//he nothing is touching the pain what can you suggest
Brief Answer:
Pregabalin will not help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Pregabalin is not a pain killer. It can help in reducing the nerve related pain. In case of injury related pain it is not likely to help. You need to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done to find out the extent of problem. Fentanyl along with anti inflammatory pain killers like naproxen can help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
