Di01, we're not doctors and can only relate to what we have experienced ourselves.I have heard of Cymbalta and never been on it. The fact that you continue to experience

these discomforts could mean that the medication isn't meant for you.

I'd have a serious talk with your doctor regarding the pain you are experiencing.

It could be from the medication as well as the dosage. I hope you get some answers soon.

Looking back at your posts, I was wondering if you ever got any answers from your

Neurologist appointment? My best to you :) xx

Dearest Di01, don't allow the doctors to intimidate you.Seek out the answers to your pain even if it means checking out

some specialists. If this ends up being from anxiety and stress

you will at least be reassure it is not coming from a physical issue.

Hopefully your doubts will be lower and you can start working on

your emotional stress levels. There are many tools out there that

can help you.

If need be there is self hypnosis that may help. My best to you :) xx

Hi 👋 it’s Shnookie. I agree with Agora. U need to contact your doctor. However out of my personal experience, anxiety and stress have caused pains over many parts of my body. Right now I’m having BP issues spoke to a nurse practitioner today and she told me that I can double my dosage of Amlodopine from 2.5 to 5.0 mg which is still a small dosage. R U under extra stress in your life. R U getting headaches and if so R U taking any meds 4 them. U might need to have your meds tweaked. I’m here 4 U. U can personally message me. Please keep us in the loop.

Hugs 🤗 S 😎🤓💪🌈🙏

Sorry 😐 about that it’s Shnookie again. As I’m texting U right now my upper arms have tightened up. The body can do this at times. I’m probably going to cut a small piece of my Klonopin to help relax me.

I’m here 4 U hugs 🤗 S
