"i have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, have had a hip replacement and extensive back surgery for spinal stenosis.  i had pain constantly at times almost to the point i could hardly walk.  after beginning cymbalta the pain left.  i feel like i did 25 or 30 years ago.  i have had no negative side effects except an occasional mild headache and night sweats some nights.  this medication has been a life-saver, even stopping the nerve pains shooting down my legs.  it&#039;s worth trying it!"
