Can i take lyrica (pregabalin) for my knee an ankle pain?

Maybe...: Lyrica (pregabalin) has been shown to be helpful with nerve pain, but not really arthritis, inflammation, etc. Therefore, if the pain is from a nerve...Perhaps. Otherwise, see your doctor about other options.

Maybe: It may work in certain cases but it is not a first choice.

Not optimal.: For true joint pain, you're better off with an anti-inflammatory medication.
