Default HI All.......Still trying to figure out........

the pain I've had since my bladder surgery this past Dec. I had a cystoscopy last week and it didn't show a problem.......then had a pelvic MRI yesterday and will get the results from it tomorrow. The bladder pain seems to makes the PN pain even worse.
I talked to my psychiatrist about trying Cymbalta for pain and depression. I'd tried it a year ago and it really bothered my stomach.......but wanted to try it again. So I'm on 30mg. once a day and still taking Lyrica as I did before. Next week I'll start 60mg of Cymbalta as long as it doesn't bother my stomach.
Also I talked with some of you about my heel/ankle pain. Well I had an MRI for that and xrays.....saw the Orthopedic dr. and he gave me the Cortisone shot and it's helped quite a bit. Then I saw a Podiatrist last week and he said my tendon is torn lengthwise and torn from the muscle. He ordered Orthotics for me and said this tendon will sometimes heal itself once the stress is off it....so I have my fingers crossed that it heals.
Sorry I haven't been around lately.....seems like I live at the dr.s offices!
I hope everyone is doing ok........I need to catch up on all the posts here.......Happy Valentine's day everyone! Tomorrow is our (me and Mike) 4 yr anniversary!
