[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 927897, member: 43498"] Tramadol and amitriptyline together is a known interaction that can cause bad side effects. Has he been taking them together for a while? If the GP said he would see him again next week then that needs to happen. Call the GP surgery and ask to speak to a nurse and not a receptionist about it. The GP can fit him in somewhere... and if he can't then he should see a different doctor, but next week, not 15 Sept, that is too far away. An orthopaedic specialist is the right kind of specialist to see about a trapped nerve affecting a leg. I hope he can see one asap. The tramadol may be contributing to his falls because it is sedating. A walking frame can reduce falling. They can usually be hired from disability equipment suppliers (In NZ the hospitals will loan them out too, but you have to have an assessment with an occupational therapist, which is more time and bureaucracy).
