What Causes Persistent Arthritis Pain Despite Taking Lyrica And Targin?

My sister is taking Lyrica & Targin for arthritis pain. She also takes Luvox the antidepressant. She does not seem to have much of a quality of life. She is still in pain, never feels well and sleeps a lot through the day.Is there a better treatment regime she would benefit from?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the drug is going on it can be said that this is the functional elements playing the role, here if the drug being changed initially it could help her but the pain condition could be as it is later on she has to try to come out of this condition on her own, without the medicine by increasing the pain bearing capacity hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
