Thanks Dale,
your reply is much appreciated. The Pregablin is Lyrica , thats what it is called in the UK. I used tramadol (or Ultram) before the operaion and at first it took the pain away totally (for exactly 9 days) and then in crept back but I still used it hoping it was doing something and I think it was to a degree thats why I am using it now, As I decrease the Lyrica so the burning goes down my hands , its very odd, and I need the Lyrica for the pain! I think I am down and feeling s hopeless because of my brother and thinking the cyst removal wont work when I havent even had it done yet! Also as you say there are amazing recoveries after 1-2 years and I am oly 5 months best wishe to you too Marion

MAZ:
Remember it took me all of twenty months to really start feeling top shelf. You had a major surgery and your body needs time to settle out. I really liked being on the Lyrica as it was so effective in getting rid of, or severely lessening, that nerve pain. I am so sorry about your brother. I just turned 52 myself so, I think that is so young now days. I hope and pray for a turnaround for you. Hang in there and become a patient patient.  Terry Newton
