Has anyone ever been on Duloxetine (Cymbalta) for nerve pain?

I realize I am very late to the party. Have you heard of CRPS? If your burning is located in one+ limbs and you have had an injury or surgery in the same area before the burning began, check out CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. At the very least, you check it off; at the very most, you may have joined us “Zebras.”

Hello. It’s recently been postulated that I may have CRPS after a sacral stress fracture last summer and development of searing/burning pain initially in the same glute but now both sides. Where is your CRPS? I’m on gabapentin which perhaps helps a little but it’s hard to find relief. Sitting is impossible for me. I had a sympathetic nerve block last week which I was hopeful for but if anything, j am experiencing more pain 1 week later. Interestingly, my pain is chronic but I tend to have flare ups about everyb4-6 weeks lasting a week or 2 where the pain is moderate to severe and difficult to manage. I would love to talk to others with CRPS and hear the honest truth… what has helped, what to expect, and how to live through it. I was previously a healthy marathon runner and I have 3 young kids so this has been a horrid, life altering year looking for answers and relief. 🙏🏼 thank you

Hey there. I’m glad to report that my burning stopped! And, the paresthesia in my feet has greatly reduced. I still encounter some intermittent nighttime awakening with hand numbness, but hope that will eventually stop too. I’m still not clear what caused it. I am glad I didn’t need the meds after all.
