I have been prescribed Lyrica 75mg caps for Spondlytis at the age of 83 years 1 twice a day.  I have had Heart By-passes, but am experiencing considerable stomach, bladder and bowel problems which have existed for some time. It has been recommended I have an operation to correct the daily nerve pain.  My husband has Dementia and I feel an operation of this kind would only cause considerable problems for both of us at home.  I need to be on my feet to handle daily needs for him, without occasionally bringing in a carer?  Any great side affects with Lyrica?
