Taking Lyrica For RA Pain. Reduces Pain In Hips And Toes. What Do I Have?
My Rheumatologist has me on Lyrica to help with my RA pain. It does not help with joint pain, but is amazing for the pain I get from my hips to my toes. As long as I don't forget to take the Lyrica, I no longer have that pain that I really can't describe except it was horrible. I'm just wondering what kind of pain I have that the Lyrica would help so much. Thank you.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Lyrica is relieving your pain from the hip till toes. This is suggestive of a muscle pain like myositis. It can be a part of some autoimmune disorder. You can continue with the treatment as prescribed. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
