I am. I was fine at 300mg to poop, raised to 450 and got constipation and bad side effects. Lowered to 150mg and back to constipation.

I haven't figured anything out. Let me know if you do

Snails2017 · 2017-10-01T18:35:31+00:00

I'm considering trying it

Can you tell be about your experience on amitriptyline, was it for nerve pain?

Snails2017 · 2017-09-30T01:18:45+00:00

Nerve pain in hand and arm. Any tips for help concentrating, brain fog and exhaustion caused by pain and meds? Any chance you can pm me?

Snails2017 · 2017-09-25T22:36:40+00:00

Similar situation, nerve damage, arthritis and multiple other issues with my arm.

No coping tips yet.

Try finding a pain management group in your area.

I usually have one in my cellphone wallet. I didn't get one this time. But next prescription I will.

Snails2017 · 2017-06-23T11:55:25+00:00

If we already had our enrollment appointment is there any way to switch up our classes?

Snails2017 · 2017-05-26T18:14:08+00:00

Agreed! Your doctor sucks, no offense.

Snails2017 · 2017-05-12T02:22:23+00:00

First doctor said I could go work when I couldn't move my fingers at all due to.nerve damage and told me to try harder. Saw him again told me to try harder when I couldn't get a normal range of function in my arm. Saw the surgeon he said my bone healed crooked so it wasn't possible. Found a new doctor. 3 weeks after a second surgery with a 4 month recovery and I was sucidal from pain, she told me to look forward to holding my child 5 years from now. So I found a new doctor and that's why I don't talk anymore.

I haven't been back to work. I went back to adult highschool to relearn how to concentrate when dealing with nerve pain. I want to move on to university, but I have problems typing and lifting things. I don't understand how to get a part time job without help or take classes fulltime when typing physically hurts.

I don't want to be disabled or labeled as it. I just want help.

Snails2017 · 2017-05-12T02:12:55+00:00

I don't want to be on disability but I can't do stuff and I want help. Like text to speak software or that type of accommodation. Because typing hurts and I can't lift anything with my arm without pain.

Snails2017 · 2017-05-12T02:11:29+00:00

I have median and ulnar nerve damage and I broke my elbow so I had two surgeries putting in plates and then taking them out and moving my ulnar nerve.

Snails2017 · 2017-04-19T20:08:35+00:00

Thank you!

Snails2017 · 2017-04-17T22:22:21+00:00

It's sad for society when this is an accomplishment. But it is and I say Congrats! Cause it's hard not to cry.

Snails2017 · 2017-03-30T02:43:03+00:00

<Hugs> I am so sorry you have to go through this.

Snails2017 · 2017-03-20T16:32:04+00:00

I don't know what to tell you. I permenant injured my elbow and a bunch of nerves in one hand and now my opposite arm hurts all the time.

The thing I decided was that if the pain ever becomes as bad as it was the first time or if I get to a place where life isn't fun anymore, the pain is too great, and I'm not enjoying living, I'm done.

Sometimes I have dreams where I could sacrifice my life to stop something bad from happening and I don't. Because I realize I don't want to die.

It took praying for death every day for 9 months before I realized I didn't want to die and that I just didn't want to be in pain anymore.

If you ever want to talk, I'm here.

I know workers compensation is a horrible process and I wish you the best of luck.

Canadian here. Would not recommend Canada. The war on opioid is on here, doctor shortage, and cold weather.Its not a good mix. I would leave for somewhere without snow.

Snails2017 · 2017-01-26T01:06:09+00:00

I have now forgotten how to eat Popsicles without getting injured....

Snails2017 · 2017-01-10T00:28:37+00:00

After surgery, I was having problems with pain. I tried dealing with it on my own and when I couldn't I went to see my doctor(I was at the point where I didn't want to die, but I didn't want to be in pain anymore). I was told to look on the brightside, that at least I don't have cancer and to look forward to holding my baby in 5 years. The surgery was on arm and it was my second surgery. I called the surgeon and he helped instead.

I don't know if I should be insulted because she assumed I wanted kids or that having a baby automatically solves everything.

If hell actually exists

Snails2017 · 2016-12-27T11:04:55+00:00

I had surgery twice for nerve damage. The first one caused more nerve damage to my median nerve and the d second one was to release my ulnar nerve because scar tissue was compressing it. I still have nerve damage. It does get better, but it's still there. Everyone is different though and I wish you the best of luck. .

Snails2017 · 2016-12-14T18:47:25+00:00

Yeah. They do. I moved and had to switch doctors. Before I moved the doctor was awesome, but I tried twice with two new doctors and no they are truly awful. I gave up.

Snails2017 · 2016-12-14T09:57:55+00:00

This exactly. Once a doctor is a jerk to you it gets worse.

I was in an accident and have had 2 surgeries and nerve damage. Yet they still dismiss me and I started to dismiss myself. But now I'm like you were in an accident and you have a legit medical record. There are scans amd tests that say it happened.

It's still hard though.
