Scar tissue after knee replacement

So far my docs have not denied pain meds. I looked up tramadol and it is classified as an opioid. It does not really stop the pain, you are right. Sometimes I just need something to calm me down and make me a little. This is a sad way to live. But it’s not cancer. My dearest cousin and a close friend are struggling with that. Now, there is something to struggle with.

Tramadol lasts me exactly 2.5 hours. Can take every 4. It's the least potent opioid drug, people often use it as a maintenance drug. Not likely to get addicted. Toradol works better, a nurse told me, but there's some chance of hematoma forming.
