What a pest! Do you have a notion of what it is that is causing the trouble and you think might show up in the scan?

I had an X-ray of my knee & it showed arthritis. I have a nagging pain most of the time. I've tried ibuprofen, co codamol 30/500mgs, I now asked for amitrypiline. As I understand it takes a while for the effect to happen. A Down side is that it has caused interactions with a tablet I take for schizophrenia.

The amitrypiline will relax you I take them when not in work so I can get a good night sleep!
