I'm 55 and have had to obtain meds from outside the USA becasue doctors are arrogant and not interested in helping me unless I am curled up and folded in pain. I gave up, had to quit my job, and everything is just a blur of debt now! I need to find doctors who care and who are competent, hard in this region...

I go to a pain management specialist, who knows and trusts me. A regular doctor is paranoid about prescribing meds that actually help. So... I've been on tramadol 200 mg per day, for years. Since I don't ever take it to get high, and don't drink, smoke, or use any other drugs, she has no problem with me, and the tramadol has never lost effectiveness. Best of luck to you.
