A member asked:

Is there anything other than lyrica (pregabalin) for nerve pain that doesn't have side effects like lyrica (pregabalin)?

Nerve pain: There are many options for nerve pain. It is always best to try to get to the root of the nerve pain and treat the cause and thereby stop the pain. If this is not possible then it is often a good option to see a specialist working in a pain clinic concerning chronic pain.
