My GP prescribed a low dose of amitryptyline meant to target neuropathy disorders plus some zopiclone as I couldn't sleep.
I have peripheral neuropathy, which is similier to carpel tunnel in symptoms
Both hands alternate between being completely numb to pins and needles. And whilst I say numb, any touch is like having an electric shock.
Right now I can no longer manage things like buttons, opening packets, hold a pen
I'm on 40 mg of amytriptyline at night, just about to increase to 50 mg. it allows me to sleep and manage to keep going through most of the day without being in too much pain. It's taken 12 years back and forth to the GP with many different diagnosis and treatments I'm now waiting to be referred to a Neuro surgeon and physio.
I know what you mean that water on the skin hurts, even my skirts brushing against my legs actually hurts and even sitting down is akin to sitting in an electric chair
