"i&#039;m 34 yrs old, military for 10 years as a grunt so automatically pain in every joint possible.   i&#039;ve also had two serious incidents in combat and two vehicle accidents in the states.  i have been on everything i think, no help so far and recently 3 months ago put on stepped into nortriptolyne 50 mg along with  gabapentin.  i must say i&#039;m a bit better as i&#039;m not on bed rest as i used to not be able to get up.  i have also been forced to carry a tens unit which helps with spasms along with robaxin and at times have to take norco when it gets bad.   i&#039;m hoping for the best and hoping to just be on one pill or none soon.  oh, and therapy weekly. so far i can only say : i think nortriptyline helps."
