Pregabalin

[Narcheska]

I've been prescribed Pregabalin for my sciatica. I've got a disc protrusion pressing on my nerve. I've previously have Amitriptyline but it did nothing for me. Just looking / hoping for any positive stories or experience of taking Pregabalin and it actually making a difference.

I'm so miserable from the pain and have a baby & a toddler (+ one at school) at home with me. I can barely stand or walk from the intense pain and it's making me feel like a waste of space. I keep thinking my husband and kids deserve better than me because I'm so useless at the moment (my husband is VERY supportive) but I still feel like I'm ruining their lives. I've had the disc issue for 6+ months

Oh god you poor thing look down the threads and you will see one low back pain and siatica there’s loads of us on there have a read you are not alone.i think the meds you are on are the same as some others on the thread it’s also known as Gabapentin I think, it’s so painful I have been in more pain than child birth without drugs, hope you have had an mri as you define should have, loads of tips to help on other thread so have a look it’s got over 200 posts I think if that helps you find it . Hang in there I know how you feel

@user1497873278 thank you! I'll take a look. I've had an mri that shows the disc protrusion at the spot I'm of my spine just above the sacrum I think. It's definitely worse than childbirth. And it never seems emit go away

I know I’m on the other thread there is so much information and support on there I’m 5 months in and only just managing to sleep for more than 3 hours a night it’s hell but I have picked up some great advice and on bad weeks which were constant pain with no let up, I have had really amazing support so come on over

Just Euboea things are with you, have you got back to normal. Hope your not still suffering like so many

Narcheska how are you know?
