What are your experiences with tramadol ?

Posted by Always Hopeful @AlwaysHopeful, Jun 16, 2024

I have been taking tramadol for over 20 years. It was first prescribed for knee pain. This was the era when they did meniscus surgery. I'm sure the medication is not effective for me now, but it continues to be prescribed. Any other thoughts or experiences?

I take Tramadol HCI/Acetaminaphen 37.5/325 mg. Yesterday, I had an aweful time trying to control the pain. Today? No problem. I forgot to take my 5:00 p.m. pill until 7:00 p.m. My biggest challenge is to remember to take the pill every 4 or 5 hours if I'm not in pain.

I'm recuperating from an operation for spinal stenosis. I suspect I'm going to be recuperating for the rest of my life!

Hi,

I have severe spinal stenosis and I am wondering what was the surgery you had and do you think that was the best course of action?
