Is Cymbalta Effective In Treating Osteoarthritis?

My DR wants to prescribe cymbalta to treat my severe osteoarthritis. I have degenerative disc disease and have lost 4 inches. I am in constant pain even though I exercise regularly and do not want to go on a regimen of Oxy or Hydrocodone. What are the expected results and side effects?
