A member asked:
Got nerve damage in 1 thigh now pain starting in the other on rubbing i can feel lumps on 30mg amitriptaline but not helping with pain any suggestion?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: What nerve is damaged, how severe is the damage and what caused the damage? Generally, gabapentin or Lyrica (pregabalin) are more effective treatment than amitriptyline.

Happy to help: You sound like you have meralgia paresthetica, and amitryptiline is at best a modest intervention with bad side effects. Since you will require about 150 mg daily, you may get substantial anticholinergic responses. On the other hand, gabapentin or Lyrica (pregabalin) work better, but also have side effects. Spend some time with your doctor to discuss causation, various treatments, and the choice of drugs.
