Thanks for all that Jan. I will look through it now. Warm regards Fred.

Thank you cactusflower and Jan. I truly do appreciate your helpful comments and I do know that looking for reassurance on Google is not always wise. However, I also know that withdrawal from this medication I refer to, is causing me symptoms, especially anxiety which is making my upper back...

Therapy yes Jan, but not a TMS therapist. I am currently weaning off duloxetine/cymbalta in US. It is causing me considerable anxiety withdrawal symptoms and if you check out the face book Cymbalta Hurts Worse, you will understand what I am going through at the moment Jan. It is a dreadful...

How is it now Zaria. I have similar upper back pain?

How long have you been tapering Thanks

How are you now Zaria7? I have had very similar upper back pain for four years now.No mobility issues. Just a dull deep ache around and between shoulder blades and often other sensations, like burning, tightness and stinging. Was yours like that and what did you do to resolve it in the end.

Hi again Ashley. I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with a flare up in pain symptoms. We both have solar issues. I have messaged you. Please take s look it may help?

I hope so to Ashley. It is comforting to hear some of your successes, but not great to hear you still have troubles. Yes it is a long journey! There is more I can say on this and I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. I will PM you shortly if that is still ok. Warm regards Fred.

Dear Plum, I am saddened to hear the difficult time you are having with the passing of your mother-in-law, what with everything else you have endured over the years. Please do not reproach yourself over what you consider to be missed opportunities to provide care. Most of us of a certain age...

Yes, I have had upper back pain. Especially around my right scapula, but also at times all over my upper back. It is never am acute pain. More an ache or tightness, but is very deliberating and depressing. I have had a few occasions when it was gone for a day or two. I was taking...

Thank you again Plum. You are so thoughtful. I will try some of these poses. My only trouble is that after any exercise or stretching, I get rather sore! and this is on top of my general daily upper back ache and tightness. Maybe I need to push through the pain? Thanks again Plum. X

Wow. Thank you so much Plum for such a detailed response with so much information. You have given up so much of your time to supply me and others who may be watching this thread! I will read and read again in order to try all you have suggested. Yes doing would be good, but restrictions at...

Hi Plum, we have exchanged posts before and you have been very kind. I also in the UK. You once posted that you had a lot of tension in your trapezoid muscles and need to roll about on a ball to get relief. I have had upper back pain ( scapula) continuously for over two years and believe it to...
