I tried PT and got no results. Have tried every med and now my doctor reduced the pain med and put me on Cymbalta. It has helped some with pain, but not anywhere near enough. The Cymbalta helps with depression so that might be an option. Has anyone tried that for depression. I just keep thinking there will be no relief.

@lgshaide cymbalta is commonly used for depression as is gabapentin. I’ve been on both in the past for depression but neither one helped. Now I’m on both again for chronic pain and they haven’t helped at all.
I’m in a pain treatment program at a major medical center and it has offered drugs, PT, psychologists, and nurses and so far - almost 1 year into the program - I have had no relief. It’s pretty disappointing and discouraging.
