General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and I am sorry that you are in pain. I see that you are already taking Lyrica which is a medication used to treat pain from damaged nerves.

I would also recommend anti-inflammatory medication such as oxycodone. It is a prescribed medication so you should consult your doctor before taking it.

You can also try over the counter medication such as Ibuprofen for relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
