Hi, AZ-Di,

Amitriptyline is the generic of Elavil; I believe Nortriptyline is very similar.

My pain management doctor does use fluroscopy. He's given me 3 epidurals and 2 injections in the past 10 months, which are not working. He did a diagnostic test on my back last week to see if I would be a good candidate for Radiofrequency Lesioning. Turns out I am. Now I just have to get through the next 6 weeks until that appointment comes up.

Since he did an evaluation on my CRPS at one of my appointments for an epidural, he would be the logical one I should transfer to. More in line with his specialty, unlike my orthopaedic surgeon.
