Cymbalta for Back Problems?

Question by Lisa R: Cymbalta for back problems?
[rewrite]I have several back problems, bulging disk laying on a nerve. Arthritis, stenosis etc. I went to the pain management doctor today. His recommended treatment was spinal injections with physical rehab, but as both of these are so expensive and I have no insurance, he is going to write a letter for me to take to local hospital to see if they will help.
Meantime he put me on Cymbalta, how does this work with back pain? I’ve never heard of an anti-depressant for pain? He swore it would help with the pain and numbness, I guess we will see. Just wondering if anyone has any advise or experience with this drug.
The doctor also recommended spinal injections, but I’ve been told by 5 people that I know not to do those. What’s the complications I also have right sided heart failure, heard they sometimes make your blood pressure rise. I also have an arachnoid cyst in brain would this cause any more danger in refrence to the injections.
