Hi Melissa. I am so sorry for your pain. I have central pain syndrome, dysautonomia and as of late spondylolisthesis. I had spinal fusion surgery 2 weeks ago. I'm taking gabapentin, duloxitine, hydrocodone, diazapam, methocarbomol. The last 3 were added after my surgery and I'll take them until my horrible nerve pain in my thigh settles down. Gabapentin and duloxitine are standards for me. Maybe your doc can tell you if these would be appropriate for you. Wishing you relief.

Thank You for good wishes. I have not been on Cymbalta and I will mention it to the Neuro guy. I had to look up both meds because I was not familiar with their generic. Can not take Robaxin as it is hard on kidneys. Have some kidney damage with longtime use of Ibupropphen. I was taking that for years in-between the Vicoden I used 3Xday? My Primary MD would only give me the V at that dose. She had no understanding of my pain level. When some kidney damage was noted I took my self to a Pain Clinic. Where I was told no more NSAID's of any kind. Med dos increased & another 1 was added. Have had improvement but since April going backwards. Had multiple procedures done. Help sometimes. Have you ever considered those things they put inside you to help lesson the pain?
Sorry, talking too much about me. Realize all of you out there have your own horror stories. Where is your pain? Ice helps alot. Some use heat. Well thanks for listening. It is time to stop vomiting this story out. melissajessie
