can amitriptyline actually cause burning pain in feet and legs. taking it to reduce that symptom ?

Question

Been prescribed amitriptyline for nerve related pain. Prickly burning sensations in upper back and legs. How long does this drug take to work approx?

Answer 1

Not so much: Amitriptylene at low doses can help various types of pain. In a small number of cases it has been associated with neuropathic pain. Please realize that the list of side effects has to include anything that anyone ever thought might be related to a medication, not what everyone is automatically expected to experience.

Answer 2

Could: Any med can cause sideffects.

Answer 3

Do not think so : I am not aware of any connection between celiac disease, which primarily involves gluten intolerance and causes diarrhea, and sciatica. Sciatica is usually caused by edema around this nerve or pinching of the nerve.

Answer 4

MAY BE: May be if it affects vitamin absorption and cause vitamin b1, b6 and B12 deficiency.

Answer 5

Can be normal: Some pain and swelling can be normal at this stage. May take close to 1 full year for complete resolution with good therapy. Signs of metal allergy include persistent pain and swelling, skin rashes, including hives , and x-ray findings of component loosening. A sample of the metal, provided by the implant company, can be taped to your arm to confirm. Ask your surgeon.

Answer 6

Return to your Docto: If pain is not better after few seats of antibiotics, you either have the wrong antibiotics or something else is causing the pain, so you better return to be checked.

Answer 7

Probably unrelated: Abdominal pain and tongue numbness are likely unrelated. Many things can cause right sided abdominal pain, even after gallbladder removal. The most common things that cause tongue numbness is tongue swelling, most commonly due to allergies or poisonings.

Answer 8

See your Dr.: Her tongue getting numb probably has nothing to do with the pain which may be gas.

Answer 9

Neither: If it's a stone not much but medication and passing the stone will help. My condolences.

Answer 10

Kidney infection: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) generally causes fever, chills and very significant flank pain. One generally feels "sick". Bladder infection (cystitis) rarely causes systemic symptoms. Discomfort in the pelvic area and irritative voiding symptoms are typical.
