I am 74 yrs old and have both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. Tramadol has been a lifesaver for me. Usually during the day I take 25mg about every 7 or 8 hrs, then 50mg at bedtime with no adverse side effects. Best wishes to you!

besides taking pain meds, what else do you do? I don’t think I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have osteoarthritis.

Thank you I haven’t found any women has the same situation as I have. I don’t know if I take aspirin. I get sleepy so all of that they gave me that gabapentin and that really knocks me out. I don’t know what to do. I mean I sleep all day I have to get up. I want to find out someway to get rid of this. I was thinking maybe swim somewhere. I can’t walk because going upstairs hurts. I don’t know what to do. We can talk to each other if you’re feeling it.
