I've started to augment with Tramadol in the AM (50-100mg) for painful ball of foot, and now I'm pretty good for the day.
Since people & sources online usually refer to just "pain relief", are there any folks finding Cymbalta specifically helps with the more general type of pain like I get in my forefeet? My forefeet don't bother me much unless I'm on my feet. If you are augmenting the Cymbalta for that type of pain, I'd appreciate your sharing with me. Any info is appreciated.

Cymbalta 60mg once daily at bedtime has been reasonably effective for me over the years! Just make sure that you take 30mg once daily for the first seven days to taper-up, and when you finally come off it you must again taper very slowly off it.
