[|Human|] I have lower back pain result of muscle spasm and trapped nerve. Have been perscribed Amitriptyline 10mg tab ulm to be taken anhour or 2 before bedtime. Will this help untrap nerve or is it just pain killer? Am also on solpadol 500mg 4 times a day and find pain under control...so why do I need Amitriptyline?
[|AI|]  Dear friend neither of the two Chat Doctor. You may discuss with your treating physician and explore the option of stopping Salvador as it contains an opioid analgesic instead try a combination of muscle relaxant and NSAID say thiocolchicide or chlorbenzaperin or chlorzoxazone with diclofenac and paracetamol, this combination will help release the muscle spasm and also pain. Intensive back physiotherapy along with it will certainly help you recover completely.  But please make sure the condition does not have any other causative reason.
