New member looking for answers.

Post by Vender »

Hello, I just found the site. I am 37 and 2 years ago started with pain that just got worse by the day. I also noticed my hands getting worse. I finally found out that I have scar tissue around my BP (i am new to all this). Anyway the pain is getting to a point that I can't handle. Is there anything for the pain? Heat, cold, massage.... I am noticing that my hands are getting worse by the day, are they going to get worse. I am just freaking out a little lately. I am going to U of M on the 28th. I am taking Lyrica 200mg x 2 and they want me at 300mg x 2. Has anyone got any experience with Lyrica? OK sorry for so many questions.
Thanks
Mark
