flare up?
hey all, i'm feeling a way i have never felt before and wondering if it could be a flare up... i asked to come off cymbalta at my last pain clinic appointment and was weening off of it. i went from 90mg to 60mg & then to 30mg. i was taking 30mg for about a week and my body started aching all over. i could not move without causing pain. the neuro & pain clinic thought it was the cymbalta so i went back up to 60mg & have taken that for the last 4 days... pain & discomfort is not getting better. have been tempted to go to er but, as i'm sure many of you have experienced, i get a little anxious that they think i'm drug seeking & don't actually concentrate on what the problem is. i have calls into my pain clinic & nero, just waiting to hear back. my body has never ached like this... when i woke up today i thought it was getting better until i started moving around. my rsd has been diagnosed in my right foot, leg, both arms, wrists & hands. i've also been having lower back issues with swelling and pain. the lower back pain added to all of this is getting unbearable.
does this sound like an rsd flare up? i'm not convinced that it is because of the cymbalta change.... any input would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!
