> Seriously I might not have been imagining it when I didn't have back pain on cymbalta and began to notice pain when stopped the med. Of course my osteo arthritis, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, and the two forms of curvature of spine might have just been getting to the point of hurting. I do know that for those with fibromyalgia it's a remarkably good med for pain.

> As for the motrin, naprosen (sp?) problem is I get rebound headaches after only a day or two of the 200mg. I didn't know this about tramadol and the side effects. Since my Father & Grandfather both died at age 71 of heart attacks without ever knowing they had heart problems. I fear this also. Tylenol does nothing for me. Motrin is the only one that works. And I need the anti inflammatory properties. I see the neurosurgeon tomorrow.

Did Cymbalta also help your headaches?
