How Can Pain In The Hands And Legs Be Treated?

I have a question, I am presently on Lyrica 100 mg 3 times per day, I take Cymbalta 60 mg per day, and I am taking Tramadol 2 - 50 mg 3 times a day. I have pain in my lower legs, both feet, and hands. Would venlafaxine Effexor be any help, and would I need to reduce taking any of the above meds? Thanks for taking the tiime to answer.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Venlafaxine oral tablet is a prescription drug used to treat depression and anxiety.
It is not a medication that is prescribed for pain so it would not be a substitute for any of the medications mentioned above.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
