Thank you for your reply, she had an MRI scan on the brain only & she also had an EMG ( I thought that was the same as the nerve condution study ), nothing showed up with both tests though. We think that it has something to do with the nervous system as her pain varies from day to day. It depends on how stressed out the body is, we`ve noticed that when her period is due, the pain gets worse. The symptons range from light sensation of numbness on both hands & feet to pins & needles all over body , random stabbing pains in both feet & hands & numbness. She developed this condition 3 years ago after catching a flu type virus which kept her in bed for about 7 days with high temperature, the pins & needles also started as soon as she caught this virus. We think that the condition that she has caught is called Myelitis, she is currently taken 30mg of Amitriptyline per day as this surpresses the nervous system as normal pain relief prescriptions do not work.

We will look into neuropathy as you suggested as we would like to seek another alternative for her to manage her pain rather than being stuck on taken this Amitriptyline for life.

Thankyou for your time
