Tramadol Helps with Exhaustion

@fracturedd Hi chiropractor found I had a L2 fracture. He sent to hospital E.R. took x-rays and confirmed it If your in doubt go to E R.show them x-ray I see it

Ugh so painful. It's not like the er can do anything for a fractured coccyx. Thanks for your reply.

@fracturedd No there's nothing can be done but you asked if I could see it and yes I can there are pillows with hole in for cocyx have you looked into this?

Yes. I have the pillow. It just seems like I start to feel a bit better and then maybe I over do it. I don't know if I should rest it or just keep moving with normal activities... How long did it take until you felt better?

@fracturedd Mine was 3months in a cast and 6 months in pool therapy Did Dr refer you to therapy? If not maybe you should ask him irf it would help to do water walking I don't know just suggesting

Good idea with the water therapy. The other day I went to a med spa and soaked in a thermal pool. That seemed to help. I'm gonna call my doctor Monday. The chiropractic treatment helps, but maybe I need a second opinion. Even going to the bathroom is a real pain! Ugh. Thank you so much, I sincerely appreciate your comments.

I was originally prescribed tramadol for arthritic pain in my knee. I had no idea at the time what to do about fatigue which could come and go. I didn't think more of it. The tramadol helped greatly. No side effects. I was fearful to tell my doctor about that tramadol was helpful for fatigue. In fact I told a internest about my fatigue and the strange feeling of saddness and he said it was all in my head and should see a shrink. After that I kept my mouth shut to this day. I told my primary in general clunical terms about experiencing depression. So over the years I have tried 10 or 12 different antidepressants. SSRI, DOPA RI, TRICYCLICS etc, etc. All had side affects that were nasty. I feared the clinic doctor would discontinue the tramadol because of the opioid crisis. But eight years later I still take one 50 mg morning and noon. That along with 2 to three cups of coffee per day I have moderate fatigue a couple times per week. My body creates some accustom but not total. Thats why I stick with this dosage and am able to work with what I have got. I feel sorry for people who can't find relief. As a note, my fatigue started after two years of extreme mental trama that caused me to live in a constant state of hypersympathetic.
Without the relief the tramadol gives I'd be divorced and living under a bridge. Also, I have spent thousands on private counseling with multible thearapies. For me it did not change my fatigue. Everybody is different. Keep that in mind all the time when seeking or giving an opinion.
