And I just took an amitriptyline since the pain is so bad I cannot sleep!
Sorry to vent but I just do not understand how it can go from a 2/3 pain to a 9/10 out of nowhere and last for over a week?

It sounds like you may be experiencing your 1st very awful "flare"
they can last a week or 2 or just a few days. Dont worry you wont be stuck with that level of pain forever even though it feels like it will.
When the flare subsides you may need to focus in what the "triggers" are and avoid them because as you have found out that meds generally dont do anything for pain relief when your in a strong flare up
