Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was on Cymbalta for anxiety, depression, and tenopothy in my shoulder for almost a year. My depression was getting worse so doctor switched me to Celexa. My concern is now I am back to the severe pain in my shoulder and back. I went to myofascial therapist for 6 months and I continue to do my stretches, ice my back, and work on pressure points. I was doing so much better until a week ago when I began the new meds. Should I ask for pain meds. I really hate that though.
Instead of icicng the regions of pain, you can try hot wat\er bottle application as heat will help to soften the muscle knots which cause pain due to spasm. Also avoid bending head forwards and lifting weight on the shoulders.
