Re: [QUAD-L] Unbeatable pain
Bobbie --have you tried amitriptyline, it's generic for (elavil ) a few others on the list told me about it..I take a low dose of 10mg at night at bedtime, I've been on it for years, some take a higher dose but start low if you try it because you can always up the doseage. Doctors said it was invented for depression but have found many quads can be helped with this to manage cronic pain and sleep betterit usually takes a week or 2 to tell how it's really working, and if it will help or not. good luck, I hope you get better, growing older as a quad is hard on us all.

Re: [QUAD-L] Unbeatable pain
I've been going to a pain management Doctor since 2010 for my nerve pain. I have a Syringomyelia in my neck, scoliosis in my back. I take Gabapentin 500-800mgs per day, morphine time release 20mgs per day, morphine 15mgs fast acting when needed, Valium 10mgs per day and Pennsaid 2% (topical) when needed. I have tried so many different kinds of pain meds. I sit and sleep on a Roho. I'm 41 years post C-4,5,6,7 Smile Everyday On Oct 6, 2014, at 9:15 AM, lwillis...@yahoo.com wrote: Bless you Bobbie.
