    Hi Justin,
    I have had so many other major problems, I probably never mentioned the fact that I also have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The nurse from Dr. An's office feels that even after the surgery, I will never be pain-free because of it. Another doctor had prescribed Lyrica. It seems to have helped. I have heard the ads for Cymbalta but as long as I am on Lyrica and it seems to be helping, I will just leave well enough alone. Fortunately, I do not have the added problem of depression. Thanks for the update. Carmen

    HI Justin,
    I receive MedPage Today also and read article. I printed it out for my doctor.
    Thanks for the message. I am still missing many PM replies from you.
    Hopefully they will turn up. Carmen
