I have had back pain for 12-months and recently underwent surgery. After
surgery, the pain has continued and my surgeon has prescribed me Cymbalta. Does
this medication work?
Cymbalta is a antidepressant which is now widely prescribed by doctors
for low back pain. In fact the manufacturers of this medication are pushing
many doctors and surgeons to prescribe this agent for back pain. Does it work?
Hell no, it is just another scam. Only a few people with psychosomatic pain
benefit from this medication. If you had back surgery and have pain, this
medication will never work for you. When surgeons screw up, there is usually
nerve and tissue damage, which is generally unresponsive to most medications.
Finally cymbalta is also expensive and
there is no guarantee it will work. In general, when doctors do not know what
is causing your back pain or the surgeon has messed up your back, the next step
is a prescription of cymbalta. Best advice, seek advice from another reputable
doctor and NEVER EVER UNDERGO back surgery- you will live to regret it.
