I quit Cymbalta in March.  I've weathered all the nasty "brain" withdrawal symptoms and they finally seem to be gone.  However, my joints and tendons are so messed up.  I pulled a tiny muscle or something in my foot just by walking on the beach.  I couldn't walk for two days.  I paddled a canoe and couldn't sleep for two nights because it felt like my shoulder bone was being frozen.  When I went back to the treadmill after taking a month off (during the worst of the withdrawal) I walked two miles which caused a severe pain my knee that lasted for two weeks.  I keep walking, ever so slowly each day and it's not getting better.  I also feel like every cell in my body is five times it's normal size (water retention?).  The fact I gained nearly 30 pounds in six months while on Cymbalta does not help.  (Haven't gained any since I've been off of Cymbalta.)  I was much heavier with each of my pregnancies and felt no such pain.  Also to the point, before coming off of this drug, I worked at a garden center and moved sod, bagged soil and landscape trees daily with no pain.  Any one having similar issues and if so have you found any solutions?
