I started taking duloxetine in January and have had very little pain for 6 months! I am on 10 mgs a day (the lowest dose) and have had such great results. I was taking serious pain meds for 15 yrs and have had 2 laps. If your dr will give you a chance to do it, it has changed my life! Duloxetine is used for depression and for chronic pain so it could help with both the depression/hopelessness and the pain. I will say the first week I had a horrible headache but it only lasted a week and was completely worth it to get rid of the pain. Please feel free to msg me if you have other questions. Hugs and best wishes - Jenn

I've heard that anti-inflammatories are helpful. I've just been started on mefenamic acid as I'm on zapain (codeine/paracetamol) and it wasn't quite cutting it. At least with anti-inflammatories it will help with swelling etc...

Maybe chat to another Dr about them. Naproxen is a good one xx
