is lyrica (pregabalin) a good choice to treat chronic neck and shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Lyrica (pregabalin) is an anti-siezure medication indicated for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.  It may also be beneficial for other forms of neuropathic pain.  If your shoulder pain is from a pinched nerve in the neck, then this may be an option.
