@notborntoburn, You will notice that we merged your post with an existing discussion on member neuropathy stories. I see that @jesfactsmon and @joybringer1 have responded to your post. Hopefully other members will be able to share their experience with Tramadol. Here is some information I found on Tramadol for neuropathy:

"We found low-quality evidence that oral tramadol has any important beneficial effect on pain in people with moderate or severe neuropathic pain. There is very little evidence from which to take these conclusions." - Tramadol for treating neuropathic pain:

"Tramadol. Tramadol is a powerful painkiller related to morphine that can be used to treat neuropathic pain that does not respond to other treatments your GP can prescribe. Like all opioids, tramadol can be addictive if it's taken for a long time. It'll usually only be prescribed for a short time." - Peripheral neuropathy - Treatment - NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/peripheral-neuropathy/treatment/#:~:text=Tramadol,prescribed%20for%20a%20short%20time.
