((hanginon))) im with Echoes - it sounds a it like the sciatica I get from a lower back injury .
With the Anti-d's - like Deli said - they dont suppress emotions - they can actually help with therapy as they can put you in a place where you can cope a little better and so idnetifying the emotions becomes a little easier - I have just started Cymbalta too - still waiting for it to kick in (2 weeks so far) prescribed by my pdoc.
I hope things work out for you - I would prob tell your dr about the depression so they have a full picture of your health - but thats up to you - take care

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
