Have tried amatriptaline but it made me feel like a zombie in the mornings. Tried Tramadol but that had a similar effect so back to the co codamol.Just been to the pain clinic and trying Gabapeptin, a week in and it is making me feel nauseas. So not sure where to go next. Had a year of Physio and then a course at a back rehab clinic which was a total waste of time, physiotherapists telling us that chronic pain is all imagined, yeah right!!My pain is caused by degenerative arthritis (spondilitus) diagnosed after a CAT scan after an eventual referal to an orthapeadic consultant.I saw an Osteopath about five years ago and he actually made my pain worse, which is unsurprising as he had no way of knowing what was causing it. I wouldnt go near another Osteopath, manipulating and 'cracking' spines without any X-rays or scans is irresponsible IMO.Of cause a lot of people swear by Osteopaths so I hope you get on better than I did  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
