Gerry,
Many of us faced the same thing. Movement and feeling also brought the
feeling of pins and needles.
I've taken Lyrica for about three years - it helps a lot. I don't know
about side effects except the cost can empty your wallet. I would have
stuck with gabapentin, but it was unpredictable. Lyrica starts working
witin 15 minutes. Gabapenten took an hour or two to work.
The best pan reliever is laughter and the posts I read tonight relieved
my pain for a while.
The antidepressant, Cymbalta, might help with the pins and needles. Of
course, it's another drug with a lot of side effects.
