What Causes Burning Pain In Feet And Leg While On Lyrica?

Hello, i have been taking Lyrica 75mg capsules for the past 4yrs now to relieve the pain of burning feet and leg pain. For the past 7 weeks i have been suffering with bad headaches and my doctor has now asked me to have brain and cervical spine scans with which i have now made an appointment to have done. My concern is that LYRICA is causing the headaches?

Yes, Lyrica(pregabalin) too can cause headaches. But I would wait till your scan results arrive and take the next appropriate action. A bad headache might have warranted the scans.
If the scans turn out to be normal, then dose reduction or change over to other medications are advisable.
Hope this help. Thanks.
