What Causes Burning Sensation In The Knees While On Lyrica?

I have been taking lyrica for about 6 weeks after 8 weeks of shingles. Lately I have been having severe pain in both of my knees. To the point of not being capable of getting up from sitting and I can hardly walk. Is it possible that the lyrica is doing this?
