@wisco50 yes, I am on Tramadol, but after my surgery Oxycodone helped with a tylenot. I was also on Tramadol. I am off of Oxycodone on my surgeons request, but still have lots of pain and can't get off of Tramadol. My knees and legs are hurting from walking which he wants me to do. Anyway, Dilaudid worked after I fractured my shoulder. But I guess I wasn't on Tramadol then, I was thinking of another drug that I take. Tramadol does not seem to help my pain that much. Thank you for your reply. I think I'm going to see my primary doctor to see if he can give me something else.

I know from both my own fusions (2011) and caring for postop fusion patients, one of the things that could/would help pain a fair amount is a big No-No - any type of NSAIDs. That is because the anti-inflammatory effect actually is detrimental. Sad, but true. They actually want the body to have an inflammatory effect as the reaction helps bone build around and into the fusion site. I was always glad when I could take aspirin again!
