Have had pain in both forearms and hands for the past two weeks. deep ache as well as tingling and numbness. gp thinks possible link to lyrica withdrawal. i have increased golf playing and also started new job with computers last two months. thoughts?

Pain: All these things may have contributed to these symptoms. But they should gradually disappear

Lyrica (pregabalin): Curious what the Lyrica (pregabalin) was being used for to start with. The symptoms you are describing are those that are often treated with Lyrica (pregabalin), & therefore coming off of it would cause those symptoms to return. Otherwise the hand/forearm symptoms would be common to be carpal tunnel syndrome or other mono/neuropathy of the arms. More golf & computer use would be risk factors for these & tendinitis.
