Add neck pain to it Mood
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | A Frustrating story

   Hey all,

     I just recently found out that I have 2 degenerating disks in my neck as well as bone spurs.  My back pain isn't improving either.  I am very afraid I will end up in a wheel chair.  I am not happy about the prospects.  My doctor said I will have to have neck surgery eventually.  I have horrible pain in my right arm from the pinched nerve in the neck.  I don't mean to whine here, but at home it falls on deaf ears...   Will work on being more positive next week, right now I'm going to feel bad.

    You might ask about using Cymbalta as an off label use for the neck pain. I have DJD too and one herniated disk in my neck, and the med is great for the nerve pain!
