Same, mostly. I have been on Cymbalta for about 2 + years now? It definitely has calmed my pain greatly. Not completely, but it's less debilitating, ex.; screaming in pain all night long feeling like my femur was being crushed in a vise - slowly. Cymbalta isn't great for everyone though, and in the beginning gave me very dark feelings, which was quite upsetting. try to start a low dosage if you can, should you choose to try. Otherwise, yes, I still have daily chronic pain, so I just need to rest more, in short increments, or simply when I need to. I try to exercise, but sometimes it can cause a flare, especially if I do too much for a couple days and under much stress. in those situations, I just try to be kind to myself, and concentrate on self care. I'm trying to get into a pool club now, they've all been closed due to covid. one warning about rest- don't let yourself become TOO immobilized for days at a time, as you would then be at risk for blood clots, potentially. I'm looking into (REAL) CBD w/ very low THC as I believe his is hugely helpful. I really want to get a topical, it's just not legal in my state yet. good luck!
