Will Lyrica Help Subside Chronic Pain Due To Spinal Stenosis With Scoliosis?
I have spinal stenosis with scoliosis. Chronic pain is a way of life. I have been prescribed lyrica. I has helped to reduce pain but the side effects are significant. I am on codeine contin. My pain ranges from 3/10 to 7/10. Should I continue with lyrica despite side effects? Marjorie

Yes, this will help
You need to see a physiotherapist also to do some exercise
If these will not help than surgery will be the option
Hope this will help
