Dont feel good

May 03, 2008 11:35AM - 1 comments

I feel bad alot lately, I'm not sure why. I dont think I am moving enough. My legs feel like they are 100 lbs each in the mornings and my joints are very sore. I have to sit alot and do homework (Im in school full time)
I got of the drug lyrica about a two weeks ago. It made me swelled in my legs, and feet.

I did have ex-rays last week to see how much my arthritis has affected my joints. (base-line) but I had to ask for it. They havent called yet to tell me the results.

Hi dene1966, how are you? Hope you are feeling better now? How is the pain due to Fibromyalgia? Swollen legs might probably be a side effect of Lyrica, which is not much documented. Most common side effects of Lyrica for Fibromyalgia pain is "dizziness, somnolence, dry mouth, edema, blurred vision, weight gain, and "thinking abnormal" (primarily difficulty with concentration/attention)".  You might get muscle soreness and feel physically weak. It is better to consult an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and review of your x-ray. Do gentle massage and hot fomentation to the joints. Early morning casual stretches is helpful. Do relax and overcome your stress.

Take care and share your thoughts.
