I did some research and quit taking the Methocarbomol and Amitriptyline. I have a previous wedge fracture a buldging disc degenerative disc disease sciatic nerve damage CRPS And RSD my left ACL is partially torn with microfractures in my knee along with bone brusing. I was already in unbearable pain before i stopped taking the methocarbomol and amitriptyline. Now my pain is worse than before and i cant sleep. I am very concerned for the health of my unborn child (this is my first one) I believe i am 11 weeks pregnant. i have left a voicemail for my doctor to return my call however i would also like a second opinion. I was hoping you could recommend medications that are safe and also if you could let me know your opinion on the medications i have listed that i am on.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Do not take heavy medication as you are 11 weeks pregnant.
Just take simple analgesic like paracetamol.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
