Nerve pain

Hi I’m having lots of burning pain that I think is nerve pain, I’m also having lots of buzzing in head which I thought was tinnitus but not easing up at all. I do have tinnitus and wear hearing aids but this has gotten much worse.. for several days.. is it possible that nerve pain is causing this? I do take cymbalta 20 mg but doesn’t help much with pain..

The pain and ear symptoms are unlikely to be related. The dose of Cymbalta is the lowest of the three doses available and if your doctor feels its safe, they may suggest increasing. Leon Rosenberg
