Hi ,I have a bulging c7 disc and have been on lyrica , diffene and sol pool for nearly 2 weeks with very little improvement , actually the pins and needles in my arm and hand are worse and I have less power in my hand too . My mood has also changed for the worse , not sure if it's the pain or the medication , should I go back to the consultant or wait it out another while . I for got to say I am a teacher and I am finding it very difficult to write on the whiteboard.
