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

It's so good to hear your experiences and I'm sorry for your continued horrible pain. Your chronic pain doc sounds good. All mine did was do nerve blocks which didn't help. My pain is from nerve pain from spinal fusion and the need for a hip replacement but I have to wait 6 months for that. Temporarily I'm using hydrcondone, Valium, methocarbomal. I do use ice packs. I'm trying anything.
I hope you get some relief and feel better.
