have you considered or tried
A stronger longer lasting pain medication like Methadone or one of the other pain meds in a catagory such as this? Vicodin wouldn't even work for a toothache on me. I realize pain meds aren't a cure and I can understand not wanting to "go there" re pain meds yet if something stronger/longer lasting would allow you to be upright and mobile that's better for your overall functioning than lying in bed because of pain (which I did for weeks to months and over a long number of years when my back would go out and long before I started pain medication).
Sorry if you've stated you cannot take pain meds for any reason or have already tried a number of them w/o much help. I realize this post goes back a way. Starting the Cymbalta is probably a good idea. Hope you get some relief again and sorry to hear you crashed on the Lyrica after some really good relief. Whatta pain!
