Hi
I have the same problem. I have the chronic pain in my feet & legs. I am on Cymbalta . They first started me out on 30 mg & I took it for 4 weeks & no improvement so they put me on 60mg & I have been on it for a week & still no improvement . I am home most of the time because of the pain. I understand what your going through. I guess we have to try different medications to see what works. I bought cream for the legs & that don't help either. I am also a Senior & am dealing with chronic pelvic adhesions so my life is pain. Try to stay busy if you can & I soak my feet in hot water & that helps for awhile. I am hoping this medicine will kick in. Has anyone had good results on Cymbalta? Best of luck to you.

@tigreyes2004, Good evening. I am concerned that you have had no improvement in your pain. Were you given duloxitine (Cymbalta) for pain? My understanding was that it was for anxiety about the pain, I was a basket case mentally when my PCP prescribed that medication. It made a huge difference for me, I am now at 60mg in the morning.
Anxiety about pain, creates more pain which creates more anxiety and on and on. You get into a loop that is quite disabling. I am glad to be out of the loop.
May you have comfort and ease in your day. Chris
