Dalton and Patti;Years ago I had a pain management doctor tell me neurontin, or gabapentin, could cause hip and muscle pain and stiffness in some people. So does TM though apparently. Lyrica is pregabalin. It's a med developed with a few changes from gabapentin. They have a lot of similarities. Lyrica and Cymbalta can bother diabetes, though. I thought we all had some of this stiffness and discomfort especially after being in a still position. I can stay in one position for long without stuff going stiff and spasmy on me. I have to make some kind of move or get up. I get around, just have a lot of fatigue and weakness, but if I were to sit for long, I would have the same problem. So how would we know what is a side effect from med or from the ''problem". Patti; did you know I was in Kalamazoo when i first came down with this? I read somewhere that MS was pretty frequent in the area? Pam

I think I remember that as being a possible side-effect, but shrugged it off, because it would not stop me from taking Lyrica for the pain. Were you blaming the muscle stiffness directly on the Lyrica or was I reading something into your comment? Patti - Michigan
