I did have neck pain but this went after I started taking Cymbalta. My neck muscles would be under strain because yesterday I did 25 minutes on the Crosstrainer, jogged 15 mins on the treadmill, and went on the stationary bike for 10 mins. This is a big step up for me, I haven't jogged since November.

My reaction to this has been a 3/10 headache which I also woke up with today and ear pressure on my right side. I am using olive oil as advised to see if it clears it up. I previously has noise sensitivity, ear pressure/pain, tinnitus, hypercusis in both ears, and at one point inability to do anything without exhaustion - now I just have pressure/pain in the right ear with exercise.

To be honest I feel that I can just push on with exercise as my symptoms are minimal compared with before. Previously very light exercise would have caused head pressure and subsequent migraines with heightened noise/light sensitivity and dreadful fatigue. So its all progress 5 months on.

You will get better, it just takes plenty of quiet rest without stimulation.
