"i have had chronic pain since i was about 11 yrs old, i&#039;m 43 now, due to a genetic blood disease. it&#039;s caused arthritis that&#039;s led to neuropathy, spine degeneration, and many damaged joints. 

i have been taking toradol and gabapentin for nerve pain for almost 3 years. recently a bleed in my feet caused extensive nerve damage that would make my feet burn at night. my doctor added 50 mg of elavil to my bedtime meds and after 6 weeks i notice a significant improvement. it has been 3 months and 90% of my foot pain and numbness is gone. i have also noticed an overall improvement in my face pain and back pain.

i am lucky enough to not have any notable side effects."
