Hi,
The pregabalin is helping as a neuro protective (nerve regeneration). Based on the symptoms you may be suffering from neuropathy.So continue it.
I advice you to get checked for your blood glucose levels once(GTT).
Along with the above drug take B complex tablets regularly, plenty of fluids and have nutritious diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Do regular outdoor exercises and yoga will help you for proper blood supply and to balance neuro transmitters.
Hope this helps you.
