Yes. Over the past few weeks I have been feeling pin pricks all over my body. I started Cymbalta a month ago and I m not sure if this feeling is due to the medication or not. Beginning last week I began to feel pain in the inner thigh, above the knee . The area was swollen, but since then the swelling has gone down. Today I m feeling the pin pricks in the same leg that I felt the swelling above the knee. In addition to the pin pricking, I m feeling pain, like bruising pain in the shin area of my leg. Almost like a deep pain. I m not sure if all this neuro , circulatory, or just me over reacting. The pain is real and at times sharp

Cymbalta unlikely causes such problems. I do sense your suffering and genuineness of the symptomsSuch symptoms can be because of longstanding depression, anxiety, psychological issuesYou may need to discuss the option of increasing cymbalta and considering  psychotherapy for further benefit.
