My doctor told me that the swelling is a side effect in some patients. It does not go away if this is your side effect. Personally, I get vertigo on Lyrica so I cannot take it.

Lyrica made my feet swell from the first day I took it. I felt awful the whole time I was on it 2-3 months.

Your doctor is right, no medicine can completely get rid of any fibromyalgia symptoms, but their ARE some that can make it more tolerable!

I was told by my rheumatologist that there isn't any medicine that will completely eradicate fibro pain

it took about a month to kick in for me but worked for pain had to quit taking it because it was really messing with me mentally
