I can say the nortriptyline is working now. I am still in alot if pain ( too much for me to handle) but it is dulling things. I got my husband to rub my back yesterday a little and didn't have much burning. Thinking I must be healing.. I got him to massage it a lot last night, big mistake!!! I woke up with so much in my back and arms and legs. Why did I do that? Ugh, I feel like I just damaged my physically injured nerves more.

Ok, question. Does anybody go off their med to find that their pain has lessoned compared to when they first went on? Or a it usually the other way around?
