Yes he said that it is definitely causing the left sided pain...I just dont know why im getting it on both sides?...He prescribed me a tricylic antidepressant called nortriptyline that I am supposed to take in low doses at 10 mg a day for the first week then 20 mg a day for the remainder...He says he prescribes for many of his patients who have disc and spinal problems...He calls it "vitamin N" lol...I havent started taking it yet, because im trying to finish off these antibiotics first...im not big on taking too many drugs at once
I talked to him and he said there is no evidence of MS or anything in the MRIs, but i dont know why im getting pain/numbness/tingling/burning in my both of my legs and arms...also my skin feels super sensitive to the touch over most of my body...He said the stenosis was congenital, so it was unlikely to be causing to many problems
Heck maybe I have something going on in my thoracic and lumbar regions as well?
