Pregabalin commonly known by the brand name Lyrica.
Yes I said it. Remember/FYI the way I pronounce ankle it can sound like asshole other words fuck Pregabalin. That shit had no effect on my pain, but didn’t that mother fucker give me all the fuckin side effects.
I was dealing with the common effects as I let the drug work as I prayed for relief.
It was when my mood changed/depression worsened, usually I can keep it together but that shit had me crying in the living room, in front of Dom!! I don’t usually let myself slip like that till I’m alone in the shower.
The mood change made me message Dr. Manun to update him…..this was enough to justify him preforming a left lumbar sympathetic block, so we started the insurance authorization process.
GUESS WHAT?
I’m getting my block on FRIDAY.
Blocks interrupt pain signals, improves blood flow (reduces swelling) and resets hypersensitivity maintained pain will make physical therapy more tolerable and beneficial.
