Default HI....here's an update........

As some of you know I had my 2nd bladder surgery 2 weeks ago.......well......I'm still having pain from the bladder sling surgery.....pain like from the original one! So I saw my Urologist yesterday and he wants to wait 3 weeks to see how I am then....(I see another 3 month wait coming!) So I'm still off work because my surgeon doesn't want me to lift with this pain.UGHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'm on 90mg of Cymbalta now. I have to take it with Carafate so that it doesn't irritate my bladder. I'm not having to take as much Lyrica for my PN and hope to totally off Lyrica in the next few weeks. My dr. is going to raise the dosage to 120 on my next appt. Are there others who's being helped by Cymbalta?

Also, Does anyone take Metanx? My Podiatrist asked me why I wasn't taking Metanx and said it's helped lots of people with Neuropathy. He gave me a presciption for it and I got it fill but haven't had the guts to try it yet. I don't want it to give me bladder pain.

I hope everyone is doing ok........Sorry I haven't been online much but will try to be better now........
