We are being challenged getting the treatment we need and getting an MRI done. He continues to live with a great deal of pain. We are currently rotating extra strength Tylenol, 650 Mg Tylenol and Aleve. We started him on Tramadol once a day yesterday.

lilyann here, my husband is in constant pain and takes tramadol. now it barely helps him and only takes the edges off the pain. if i remember correctly from my past reading that it messes with the dopamine that you already have. so it is then confusing when they give you a medicine that puts the dopamine back in the brain. maybe someone can help explain that for me. he has all the symptoms of parkinson's but has not been given a definitive answer. having severe back pain, it hurts to walk or do anything but of course you know what they say: motion is the potion. wishing the best for everyone
