I had my appointment with my primary doctor on Wednesday. I gave him the records I had from my pain dr. Then we discussed my situation a bit and he prescribed me lyrica. So we're are gonna see how the works. I was glad he was willing he try something though.

I received the urine test reports today from my pain doctors office. So now I have them.

Word of advice, don't give up on the lyrica too soon. Any side effects usually go away in a few weeks and it can take up to a month to see max benefits. Give the new Dr a bit of time to get to know you better and feel comfortable with you and he may be willing to help more aggressively!

What do the lab reports say? Are they consistent? Look and see if they are identical.

Also with the lyrica, like with all medications in that class, it can also take a medication adjustment or two before you will know if it is going to work or how well it is going to work.

They aren't very consistent. I haven't looking to deeply into then but I did look at them and they don't seem very consistent.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have a lot on my plate right now. As I've said before my mother is ill. Right now it is a matter of time before she passes and I has been taking care of her. She is bed bound and unable to do anything including move at all. I also have an injured knee. I either sprained or tore my acl, I have a brace on it now. If it's still hurting in a month they will do an MRI.
