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
