I don't see how a chiro can help with the banding pain. What does he do? Janice

I know Cymbalta also helps with the pain but I feel 'dull' when I take it, meaning I feel like I'm dragging and no energy. They now have a generic which helps with the cost but haven't heard anything about how it works compared to the name brand. I use the Lyrica and Tramadol together and that seems to really help with the pain but that 'band' pain sometimes takes over and even those two can't help it. Since I've gone to the chiro, I have had tremendous relief with the banding pain. ???

His reason was that I am already on Lyrica and Cymbalta does the same thing so I was just supposedly doubling up. Anyway it has been a week since I stopped the Cymbalta and I have started getting terrible banding in both legs and especially around my trunk area. Doing my own test I took a Cynbalta and within a few minutes I started feeling better again. It now appears obvious to me that somehow or other the combination of Lyrica and Cymbalta was working for me and I plan on going back on it. I would appreciate feedback by members who take both of these drugs and how they have helped them. In addition on top of these 2 drugs should I consider the Neurontin to further reduce the banding?
