What are your experiences with tramadol ?

I have substantial back and spine damage and pain that radiates down my legs. But I still continue to do yard work, washing rugs, walk my dogs, doing my housework at 73. When the pain just gets too bad that I dont think I can face the day. I will take 1/2 of a 50mg. This is once in a blue moon, but for that day I am amazed that their once was a time when I actually felt like this. When there was nothing more than a subtle ache in my body. I enjoy that day completely.To consult my primary is a joke, the only thing he will do is write me an RX to take them twice a day. I have no need for another addition, nor do I need liver or kidney damage. So thats my thought on this!

Comfort to you…ask your Dr about spinal facet joint nerve ablation (RFA). It helped me get real relief, the drugs can be a horror. I can’t tolerate Tramadol and so finally had morphine twice a day. So now just one in the night. I add Tylenol during the day 4x 500 mg.

tramadol was wicked for me. I only took it for 3 days straight with sleeping pills for night. I had told the doctor sleeping pills didn't work n me but still he said try it. for 3 days NO PAIN also no sleep and by 3 days my vision was almost gone. The next week my pain was a killer so I tried just 1 day and immediate vision loss and no pain or sleep. Anything that has those kind of side effects is not worth even trying.
