@cathyw I did try Lyrica for arthralgic pain earlier this year. For me, it didn't make any difference to the pain and I found that I started dropping things - I lost my fine pinch grip so would pick up a piece of paper and keep dropping it. I didn't realise this was a possible side effect until later. According to my mother-in-law, my father-in-law also took it and had shocking nightmares while on it but I have no idea what dose he was on or if it was just interacting with the numerous other medications he was on. However, it wouldn't be prescribed if it didn't have the potential to help and certainly, as with everything, side effects are person-dependent so I would suggest giving it a go if your onc is on board. If you do try it and it is not working, it's one of those you have to come off gradually.
