I have been on Cymbalta and Lyrica after a car crash. It did help the pain some for a damaged nerve and I may have to go back to it. I was hoping I could get it fixed but as time goes on I am less hopeful and am looking to get it to a manageable level. Thanks for reminding me of the medication option and keep me informed on how the spinal cord simulator is working out, it may be the way I head. Wishing you the best.
