From Norco To Cymbalta (Top voted first)

I have been taking 10mg hydrocodone for about 3 years for back pain and all of the sudden my doc up an quit practicing. The new doc that I went to see tells me that I am taking the wrong meds for chronic pain and put me on 30 mg cymbalta daily. So I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with cymbalta for back pain? I am also not depressed by the way. Today was my first dose and I feel kind of hyper in a way I guess. Lots of energy.

The relevant question is, what's causing your back pain? And proper treatment really depends on the answer.

For instance, if it's nerve pain, due to pinched nerves in discs or something similar, then yes, Cymbalta may help.

However, if it's due to something else, such as an injury, then it isn't likely to do much for pain relief.

What type of doctor are you seeing?

The pain is from arthritis. The doctor is just a regular clinic doc. I need to search for a new doc. I just didn't have time because my doctor just up an quit. Oh and I also have bone spurs too.

Please help me.I'm 23, a single mom, with severe scoliosis. Two yrs ago I was ejected from a car at $80mph. I almost died from my severe injuries. live in the Spokane, WA area and have Idaho medicaid.it's been almost impossible finding a dr who will treat me with my chronic and debilitating pain. Now I've found one but he doesn't want to prescribe me anything because I'm so young.I'm terribly depressed.I'm bed ridden
with a toddler and little help and no money
and no hope of getting a job.I'm so afraid of looking like a pill head that I didn't press the issue but I've been so depressed since my appointment I just wanna die. Is there a dr that will help me?
