Sounds like all y’all doctors are seeing witch doctors. Or maybe you are seeing the wrong doctor maybe a psychiatrist is in order because y’all are hypochondriacs??? I have very good doctors that listen to me from my GP to my pain management and all my surgeons You have to communicate clearly and precise without being a whiny ass

I recently had an emergency appendectomy. When They handed me my release papers there was no prescription for pain and I was still reeling from the surgery. I was in so much pain I couldn’t get out of my bed yet I was being discharged with NO pain medication. American medical treats honest people like they are a deadly drug addicts. And get this: Honest people are forced to live in pain while real deadly drugs are welcomed across our borders. I am pissed.

That’s the problem for me. It wears off too quickly. So half of my day I have no pain relief. I have ankylosis spondylitis and neuropathy from my cancer treatments. Along with a number of other side effects.I can’t take Ibuprofen because of the ulcers I have had from my illness. Tylenol by itself does absolutely nothing for the pain. It sucks that it doesn’t last longer because my neuropathy keeps me from sleeping well,which effects my waking hours.But I have to use my prescription during the daytime because I have to work. And part of that is getting ready for work.I can hardly walk when I get up.. And I have to drive for almost an hour after that to get to work.The only time I get a good nights sleep is the weekends. Then I take it at night and suffer when I’m awake.

I have Arthritis and 4 Budging Disc, the pain was unbearable. I am 75 years old and I told my daughter I would rather not live if I have to live like this. I could hardly walk and it about killed me to even sit on the toilet. My doctor put me on Tramadol-Acetaminophn, and Gabapentin. It's working for me, some days are worse than others, but at least I can function now. So I only have good things to say about it.

It all depends on one’s own personal medical reason for their pain, the type of pain, rather it’s acute pain or chronic pain. The medical field of long term pain patients, need to be separated from short term pain. And, not all patients can tolerate the same medications. When this war on opioids came about, I was then prescribed “psychotic medications” and epilepsy medications, which really messed with me so badly, that it was worse than pain medications itself!

That's the point of it. It doesn't actually do anything for pain like morphine would. It makes you feel euphoric so you forget or ignore the pain. Not good for acute pain but good for a headache or something not so severe. It makes you really relaxed if you go to bed but energetic if you do something like clean your house. It amplifies the mood you are in depending on what task you are doing. For me at least, everyone's different t ofcourse. I would describe it more of an anti anxiety drug than a painkiller.

Been taking Tramadol for 10 years now for chronic back pain. I take it 4 to 5 days per week mixed with Naproxin, but the Tram is the major player. Hits home on the pain every time, lifts my mood, feel really alert with plenty of energy. Feel relaxed and refreshed in the morning. The only downside is the potency decreases if you take it more than 2 days in a row, so you have to try and space it out. No negative side effects apart from occasionally very mild sick feeling. Amazing drug for me, but would happily give it up in exchange for the loss of my lower back pain

I might as well drink water as to take tramadol.

I had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder about a year ago. They did a nerve block and put me to sleep for the surgery. After the surgery they told me it would be about 24 hours before the nerve block wore off but to start taking the pain medication as soon as it started to wear off. Less than 12 hours after my surgery the nerve block was wearing off and I didn’t start taking the Tramadol quick enough to keep up with the pain. I was in misery before it finally caught up. Also it made me constipated something fierce, which was a misery unto itself. Even the stool softener they prescribed did not help. After 2 days I quit taking the Tramadol and put up with the pain rather than not be able to poop. It was horrible. Sitting on the toilet having to push as hard as I could trying, and failing, to go. Never again.

I personally don't like what I heard,but I rather be informed. My health is most important to me. I am the one who needs to this information. It is valuable to me even though I don't like the side affects and other negative aspects. I am on Gabardina too. My pain has multiple keeping me mostly bedridden at a level 4 or 5 most of the day, I am extremely exhausted then the pain gets to a level of a very high 6. I can only cry, that hurt my breathing and I am very cold.

I have Fibromyalgia. That was the first drug they gave me. It didn’t even have any restrictions. I take it for pain. But only 50mg 3 times a day. I found it got when it started to get out of my system I would get real depressed and shaky. So I cut down to 1 3x daily, I was taking 2 at once. 3xdaily. Tylenol 3 always worked better for me...but nothing stops the pain....I think they need to make medical marijuana legal in all 50 states. The pain is unbearable.

They believe it’s trash because the patrons let them know of it. Tramadol is basically a placebo pill. Has an intimidating name that makes you feel like it’s significant (trama - trauma) but in reality you’ve never heard of it outside of the hospital because it doesn’t actually work. For a lot of people, the thought of being healed does more foe them than the medicine can. They’re also a way for a doctor to assign a pain med while avoiding any risk in a patient they think is young or could potentially abuse medicine. My doc prescribed me this when I broke a vertebrae but was under the assumption it was just a muscle injury at the time of prescription as we were waiting for X-rays to process. Luckily I’m a degenerate and was able to obtain actual pain meds which allowed me to leave my house 3 weeks earlier than I would have on just tramadol but it for sure changed my opinion on how truthful I feel medical professionals are to me.

I know I am adicted to it, but I have a life without pain. Life is not life with pain. It would be silly to want not to have any side effects and feel as though you were perfectly wealthy and were 20 years old...I have been on tramadol for ten years and it saved me from a facial pain that had persisted for one year, 24 hours a day. Only lately I have some palpitations when I woke up, or not sleep very well, but I sort it out not taking much of it before going to bed. It is an extremely good pain killer. It is addictive, but if I have to choose, I prefer it to live in constant pain.

True, the restless leg syndrome is the worst, weaning will help, say down to 25, even 12.5 mg; maybe Kratom for some too (short term). What helped me was regular exercise, and good nutrition. Cough medicine took away some of the restless leg syndrome (diphenhydramine).

I was on tramadol for more than 10 years for a back injury. As time went on it seemed to lose its power. So I weaned myself off the drug. I don’t take pain meds but Tylenol now. I still have injuries but my tolerance is higher now.

Thanks for the information Dr. Richardson! I am trying to learn about all the medications that my doctors prescribe.

Tramadol has been a lifesaver for me in controlling my costocondritis pain. I would not be up and about without it. No other painkillers work successfully for my costo pain.

Tramadol is a controlled substance for money reasons only. I was taking it for Chronic pain for years with no problems. And as far as addiction; addiction is only as the pain is constant.

I've been prescribed this for probably close to 10yrs, to me its not addictive and believe addiction to any drug is heavily reliant on the genetics of a person for lack of a better term. Does it help with certain pain? Sure. Is it as effective as an actual narcotic? No, but certain people cannot take narcotics because they become addicted to them based on their genetics. Most doctors are loath to prescribe a narcotic pain reliever because of the heavy government foot placed upon their necks which anyone with a thinking brain knew would be the outcome of government over regulating them. Dr's are afraid for lack of a better term to prescribe them because of the government and this is what my own doctors have told me in private this is why most will not prescribe anything stronger than tramadol and some doctors don't even want to prescribe that either, they just don't want to deal with the government. Who suffers because of this? The patient of course because government is "always the solution"

Worked good for pain maintainence until it was suddenly discontinued on me. Before I knew it, I was in withdrawn and was in a very DARK PLACE for a few days.

I've been off Tramadol for 14 days, after taking it for 10 1/2 years. I'm working on getting off Gabapentin (down to 100mg) and Baclofen (down to 25mg); been taking these for 10 1/2 years, as well. I've had 8 surgeries due to injuries and believe I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia which is how I got put on the medication. At the time, I didn't know I had a bulging disc in my neck pressing on my spinal cord; took 5 years to diagnose, plus surgery. I was still trying to get the right diagnosis for my right hip, after a car accident. It took 2 years to get the right diagnosis and two surgeries to fix my issues. I think what has helped me get off of the medication; taking Dr. Scheussler's mineral cell salts. Been taking Dr. Scheussler's salts for 18 days. My PCM is happy that I am trying to get off the medication. I could never take stronger pain meds as I get so sick on them, even, the pain meds given in surgery.

Every medicine comes with risks and prescribing/using them is all about the balance. Due to what my doctor called my "weird genetics" most pain killers don't work on me. Lortabs might as well be M&Ms (except for the side effects). In fact, being sedated for a procedure or dental work takes a lot of whatever they use. Just numbing me for stitches is such a process I usually try to get stitched without it. Tramadol, however, works great for me. First time I took it was for severe pain while waiting on some minor surgery. It worked so well I threw them out figuring if they worked on me they were too strong to keep. LOL ... Then I broke a rib and the relative mildness of Tramadol was explained to me and how it has less risks than most other "stronger" pain killers. As it's the only thing that works for sudden, severe pain (think waking up with an abscessed tooth but it's Saturday) or a particularly painful gastric condition I sometimes am troubled by, I keep a few on hand. But I use them very sparingly as I don't want to build up a tolerance since nothing else works.

tramadol is the perfect drug that allows me to function on bad arthritic days.

Dr. at the VA told me it wasn't a narcotic, didn't help with pain, made me sweat like crazy and when I weened myself off of it over about 3 months I felt like I couldn't concentrate for another 3 months. The reason I weened myself off was it was giving me ortho static hypotension, I would get a rushing sound in my ears when I would stand up, sounded like cars speeding by on the highway, I would feel light headed for about 30 seconds and then things would go back to normal. Va doctor didn't want to be believe me but after quitting them, that stopped completely. I guess it was just a coincidence.

Hi all. I started taking tramadol 3 months ago for my very stressed (no pain) legs. I only take one a day. I don't take any until I feel the stress. It give me great relief and I'm ok to go for the day. There are days when I'm not on my legs so much then I don't take it.

I was given it for an infected tooth (and gum) that I had out. I only took one dose as prescribed by the doctor, and it never stopped the pain but made me like I was extremely drunk for 2 days having great difficulty standing up/walking, talking, thinking, doing anything. The closest thing I think what it would be like being a zombie. I should've gone straight to hospital but thought it would wear off within a day, coz that was a similar reaction when I took one dose of Diazapam to help me sleep when I worked night work, except it lasted 10 hours- just enough time to be 'sober' when I had to start work that night. Never again. I have bad reactions to most prescribed medication I've taken over the years and have to revert back to either old fashion first aid, or Chinese medicine to get the best results.

I started dialysis two years ago and could not handle staying 4 hours in the chair without squirming in pain and being miserable. The doc started me on tram and I take it (one 50-dose) on treatment days. Now I sleep comfortably through the 4 hours, get up and can walk without being in a wheelchair or in tears. I find it very predictable. Guess my system is just different. I have asthma and high B/P and this med seems not to affect either and I also do not get nausea from it.

It's wasn't worth the nausea, vomiting, headaches, and foggy brain so I've stopped taking it.

I never had those problems because I took at most 2 a day, and only for a short period.

Gabapibten, is being used as a pain management too, please let us know about side effects or danger with it

Tramadol is synthetic and currently does not show up on drug tests. My mother had Alzheimer's disease. She was in the hospital for hip surgery she was given Tramodal she had a seizure. First time she ever had a seizure. 2nd time she had a seizure she was given Tramodal because of a dislocated shoulder . The doctor needed to fix . We have always thought the seizures were related to Alzheimer's disease and pain medication. Maybe it was the Tramodal. I will give this information to my family . My mom never in her life had a seizure. We were surprised when she had two .

I have been taking Tram for 20 yrs for my fibromyalgia. I tried opioids and I found they quit working the longer I took them. I have had to get off of Tram for surgeries and the withdrawal was not that bad. The med wears off after 5-6 hrs. I have a doctor that makes hold off for 8 hrs. The last 2 hrs are killer.

You know that Tramadol is an opioid, right? Opioid or not, if it keeps your pain away, stick with it.
