    Hi Christinac47,

    This topic was posted twice so I have deleted the previous thread, there were no replies posted.

    Take care

    Hello Christinac47
    I have a few back probs and I am on brutran patches, but I find that pregabalin helps better especially with sciatic pain, but everyone's different, I know people that swear by the patches, so I would say give them ago and if they don't help in a few weeks ask about something else..I hope you get some relief very soon back pain is rotten.
    Love
    Barbara

    I'd go back to the GP and explain that you don't feel it's working. They may adjust the dosage or suggest something else.
