I am 47 , I started having the pain in my feet , calves and back of legs about 9 months ago. The pain is increased when i lye down at night.especially the part of my legs that touch the bed.The pain can be excruciating.I use to like getting into bed now i dread it.Not that thats the only time i am in pain but it seems to be at its worst in bed.This has definitely affected my life in a negative way.My doctor first said fibromyalgia and put me on lyrica. That was no relief and made me a zombie.Needless to say i quit taking it.It did nothing for the pain.I seen on this site tonight a lot of people saying they found relief with cymbalta. I am looking into it this week. One thing i would like to suggest that i found to help by accident. I have a back massager that vibrates with heat. Well I have it under my legs every night. The vibrations from it does seem to bring some relief though not as much as i would like. But something is better than nothing.I hope you find some relief and will let you know if Cymbalta helps me.While i hate that anyone has to endure this. I am glad i found this site and that other people are searching for the answers. God bless and Don't give up.You have already touched lives and hearts of people you have never met. Including me. Anthony.
