Janflo has noticed the same type of things I have... I've had two back
surgeries in the past. I had additional damage done to the nerves during the
second surgery. I also have the L2, L3 areas as a problem for the last year.
(L4, L5 have already been operated on).
I can't honestly say that depression has been a problem in my life other than
situational type depression (ie: death of a loved one). I do take Paxil and
that is a tremendous help with the pain. I know this is what works for me
because I tried to change it a year or so ago ... It was just awful, that is,
the flare going off the paxil created.
When it comes to pain I find that the back pain starts with the center and
works while with the FM the pain seems to start in the extremity and works
toward the center. Of course, quite often the FM pain starts where I'm weakest
= my leg, arms, hips and such.
I wish I could help more. This is just in the way of saying
"You are not alone".
