I did not do well with the Amitryptaline treatment. I don't think the anti-depressant properties agreed with me. I'm tired of feeling bad all the time. Help!

i have had moderate to severe chronic back pain for several months and recently went to the doctor. after an exam in her office she she prescribed muscle relaxers,prednisone,and percocet. then sent me for an mri. about a week later she called me into her office to review the mri results. she told me that i had minor bulging of my discs but nothing that should cause as much pain as i say i have.she also told me that she saw nothing to explain the leg weakness i have. she refused to refill my prescriptions,and she sent me to a physiatrist who performed an emg. he said that the emg was fairly normal with the exception of a few abnormal nerve impulses. he diagnosed me with myofascial pain,and an inflamed sacrum due to a misalignment. he set me up with physical therapy,but also refused to treat my pain symptoms.
my question is whether or not doctors can toss you around for months and months while you are suffering or do they have to do whatever gives you relief in a timely fashion?

I know my stressors, and am trying to deal with them, I know I havnt been sleeping the greatest either, and I will hopefully catch up on that soon. I am so moody, so irritable, I could cry at the drop of a pin, yes It's that time of the month as well, maybe that's not helping. But, I'm wondering if you have ever felt this way? and what can I do to calm my nerves. My husband sais one thing that irritates me, like "why didnt you do such and such.." and I yell at him, and start crying.. what the heck is this? I'm anxious, and emotional, and I don't know why.. and I want to fix it.. will it be gone tomorrow? how can I cheer up? I'm usually the one cheering everyone else up.. now I feel alone.. any advice welcome please.. thanks..

I sprained my knee about a month ago, I ignored it for a few weeks until I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago. Told me to avoid exercising etc for two weeks and rest. The pain is pretty much gone but my leg still feels "stiff" you might say I can bend it completely no problem but when I walk it feels stiff, is this normal?

I have heard several people say that they really need methadone for pain, because their doctors would not give them strong enough medicine for pain, so they had to "fake" addiction in order to get the medicine at the methadone clinics. Some say that they are still dependent, but they still need it for pain also.
