Hello @finnj01 - @cecelia19 mentioned using Elavil to help with the pain in another discussion here and may have some experience to share with you - Desperate: Is there any hope for neuropathy?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/is-there-any-hope/. Mayo Clinic has some information on the drug, side effects, interactions with other medications and more here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/amitriptyline-oral-route/description/drg-20072061.
I'm tagging @summertime4, @cwallen9, @camoriello, and @jakefix82 who have mentioned Elavil for neuropathy pain in other discussions and may have some experience to share with you.
If I read your previous posts correctly, you've tried Gabapentin, Lyrica which did nothing for the pain and then Cymbalta which helped for a short time but now the pain has returned. Is your doctor suggesting that you try Elavil to see if it helps?
