Hello.The drugs do not cause the pain you have.
Your pain is caused by irritation of the nerve(neuropathic pain),possibly related to diabetes.Amytriptilin is a suitable drug for neuropathic pain but I think that it is necessary to add another specific drug for this pain.Pregabalin is widely used in the treatment of neuropathic pain.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.I wish you good health.
