User Reviews for tramadol oral

Lumbar stenosis and herniated discs cause sever leg pain due to nerve impingement. This medication provided effective pain relief in a timely manner.

I have had lower back pain for many years. Although I prefer NOT to hammer prescription meds...I do take some out of necessity. At 74 yrs old...I feel blessed I can still physically do things most folks can't at my age. I take 1 50mg tramadol and 1 75mg of diclofenac the mornings I play pickleball. It does help quite a bit. The itching and constipation are mild side-effects.

After reading the negative comments my conclusion is it works for some and not for others. Example:y wife says it’s like aspirin for her. Me I take half of dose and get relief. If I’m really hurting I’ll take a complete pill. It is not a cure all for everybody. Good luck and Godspeed! Taking it for 3 + years.

Been taking tramadol for approx 2 yrs for abdominal cramping and severe back pain due to adenomyosis. Only takes during menstrual cycle every two weeks. Wears off in about 4 hrs, but I didn't have headaches or nausea like oxycodone or other hard core pain pills. This actually gave me pleasant dreams when I slept and allowed me to function without feeling drugged.

I started taking Tramadol to help relieve hip pain so that I could sleep. After months of issues in my hips and legs related to Long-Covid (musculoskeletal) it seems my left knee and right hip were the worst issues. It did help at first, but my condition has worsened. It is no longer effective, and will be requesting a stronger med from my doctor so that I can get some minimal function.

It use to stop my pain after about 20 minutes and now it take almost 1 hour and help with energy. Now the medicine Don't take all the pain away and make me want to sleep.its not made the way it use to be and to me I think it ??

Have had various surgeries in the past year. Been given Tramadol HCL 50mg tablets. I don't even understand why it is an opiod risk? I get NO relief from this medication. If it's an opiod risk it's because you need to take so much of it. This for me is like taking a placebo...NO RELIEF! Risks definitely outweigh the benefits for me! I've been on stronger meds with no withdrawal effects. I am not an addict, nor ever have been. I just wish for stronger drugs when I need them!

As a nurse my daughter was put on this for chronic pain. After hearing many doctors talking about the fact that the drug tries to trick you into believing that your not experiencing pain. This medication is a joke! I went undiagnosed for 8 years and was constantly given this med until I found a doctor that finally found a condition with my liver that was causing me to get pancreatitis. So I know firsthand this stuff is junk is has no effect at all. Shame on the doctors that prescribe this knowing it’s ineffective. Read More Read Less

I have a degenerative joint disease and tramadol has helped a ton, its probably the only medication that has calmed my pain for more than 5hrs

very ineffective drug. A waste of time & money.

I have a combination of Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis arthritis in my left knee. I've had cortisone shots which did little but the Tramadol has made the pain liveable. I've been on it for 6 months now and its effectiveness hasn't waned thankfully so for me it's been a game changer. My only gripe is the itching and occasional dose of constipation. Given I also have Psoriasis the itching can be a bit much at times.

I have arthritis and most of my joints, I’ve had to partial knee replacement, right shoulder joint pain, carpal tunnel in both wrist again. Pain medicine does not take all the pain away it just makes the pain livable. I’ve been taking less for almost 15 years I take two pills a day, I do have trouble now but I live in Florida with sweating. The humidity this year has been extremely high and we sat records.

Took it post-foot surgery, two separate surgeries. It makes me itch to the point of clawing at my skin. It does take the pain away mostly. Makes me constipated and bloated, though. I'm 63 and in generally good shape, eat right, exercise, etc. I don't think I'm going to take it again. Being hypothyroid, I think things just affect me differently.

I have a pinch nerve throughout my body and severe arthritis throughout my body I already received injections in my shoulders and I have a bulging disc in my back the arthritis meds don’t work the muscle spasm meds don’t work tramadol stops my pain immediately I took this meds since 2018 after I had a hysterectomy and nothing stops the pain but tramadol speaking for myself.

I lifted something improper and threw out my back. I had spasms and constant back pain. Took tramadol and the pain is literally gone. This stuff is magic.

Tramadol worked good but there was a time I realised I was dependent on the meds I made a decision to come completely of the meds cold turkey my only problem I have is I can't sleep can anyone tell me how long will it take before my sleep pattern get back to normal. I was on tramadol for restless leg syndrome there not good but I found a supplement that helps greatly along with lidocaine patches. I would appreciate any input as how I can get my sleep pattern back to normal.

Taken 100mg in conjunction with oxycodone 10/325 for over 10 years. Works well. I've had 2 spinal surgeries for stenosis and spondylolisthesis, including a failed spinal fusion. No negative side effects (other than the opioid induced constipation, but that has nothing to do with the tramadol). The horrible side effects I have read on this site are probably due to an allergic reaction to the drug. Even the "wonder drug" penicillin can lead to death if the patient is allergic.

Its Work Very Effective

It doesn’t work for me. I have chronic nerve pain from herniated disc and it doesn’t touch the pain. I literally cannot tell any changes in pain severity at all.

I have had chronic low back pain with episodes of severe sciatic pain for over 20 years. Doctors gave me Vicodin but I had to keep increasing the dose. Also, I was working at a desk job & was missing work because I couldn’t function on the Vicodin. I said no more & my doctor prescribed tramadol. What a blessing! It doesn’t completely relieve the pain, but takes the edge off so I can function. Much better than living my life in a stupor!
