I have the exact same thing.  I've been dealing with it for 3 years now and I've finally been diagnosed after extensive testing.  I can tell you from my experience that Cymbalta is a miracle drug.  It works like nothing else!  Only problem, there's no cure for peripheral neuropathy and I don't like the idea of being on Cymbalta or anything else for that matter, for the rest of my life, I'm only 42.  So just yesterday my podiatrist gave me samples of a non-drug med which he called a medical food/super vitamin.  It's called Metanx and it's used to treat peripheral neuropathy.  It's a combination of B-6, B-12 and high potency folic acids.  It does require a prescription but it's all natural without the side effects of long term usage as with Cymbalta!  I'm excited to try it.  However, he warned that I wouldn't feel immediate results.  It'll take up to 3 months to get the full effects.  If it doesn't work for me, I'll be back on Cymbalta because I can't live with this excrusiating pain.   Anyway, hope this helps you out.  I really can relate with your pain and feel for you!   Email me if you'd like to.   Take care, Wendympoohbear@aol.com
