Several months ago I fell and fractured a pelvic bone - Pubic Ramus - 5 cm fx. Anyone familiar with this fx knows it is very painful. After 2 1/2 months my x-rays showed considerable healing and new bone growth. I was informed by my ortho that the muscles would eventually lose the edema and inflamation. Facing returning to work as a busy pharmcacy tech, knowing that I could not continue taking No...
Im a an ex athlete who has had five knee surgeries with 3 TKR with one revision. Tramadol has helped me immensely, been able to go back to coaching soccer. Take a total of 150 at most per day. Extremely effective medication

It was very effective, I have a strong fear of medication so I would only allow myself to take a few. However, I was pleased that it did not have any strong side effects for me. I usually find myself dizzy and sick the whole time I am on these types of medications, this worked much better for me.

This drug has been prescribed to me for chronic pain due to a disc removal and fusion in 2001. Since, I have experienced a great loss of sexual desire and thought, loss of erection. I have however been able to return to work as a mason, and work six days a week. I also take Norco with this drug. When I stop taking Ultram er 200 for a few days I can acheieve an erection....

I have RA and joint pain was quite moderate, the other pain meds were making me very sick and HOT, this one has no side effects for me, although the cost even with insurance is HIGH for me in comparison to my other drug copays

I call Ultram my miracle drug. I took narcotics everyday either for headache, leg pain or back pain. Some months I have cut my narcotic use by 75%. Stormy months my narcotic use is still down. It also helps me sleep at night. I use to wake up after about 3 hours of sleep and walk the floors until my narcotic would take effect. Now I sleep through the night and seldom need other help. My husband also takes this drug and if he skips a couple of days he can hardly move. Like I said I call it my wonder drug.Read More Read Less

I have fibromalgia, and the Dr. is afraid I'll become addicted to vicodin, so tramadol is his drug of choice...I do not feel it's helpful, and am frustrating trying to explain this, and it's lack of help. I also have bi-lateral stenosis, and my orthopedic gave me vicodin, until my primary Dr. told her he didn't want me to have it, now she won't give it to me either....I continue to suffer, and loose much needed sleep

I take this med occasionally - the relief from pain is within a couple of hours but the side effects last about 24 hours. Side effects are: dizzy, lightheaded, throwing up and loss of appetite.
