Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. Many people report poor results and they blame the drug, when they should be blaming their own body chemistry. I am in the miracle drug category. Thanks to Tramadol, I am now able to live pain free (Extremely rare testicular disorder requiring several surgeries). If you are ...

I take 100 mg. at a time for muscle pain and menstral cramps. Works well without being overwhelming. However, if I take too often I can get depressed. So I take it only when ibuprofen isn't enough.

I asked my doctor for a non-narcotic non- additive drug for my pain, he gave me tramadol. It worked pretty well , but the non-additive part is a joke , I have taken vicodin when i was in cancer treatment , for a year, and had no withdrawl symptoms when i quit taking it, but with the tramadol I had bad withdrawl symtoms after only three weeks of taking the medication. watch out , your body will get addicted quickly.

This is the only medicine that relieves my lower back pain. I think its great, even though doctors think its what caused me to have a seizure, after being on it for 3 years. I can't function on a daily basis without it, but its getting hard to find a doctor who will give it to me. It is highly addictive.

Moderate-serious (7 out of 10 pain scale) post surgical low back pain with nerv involment in rt leg. Drug works well for apprx 8hrs for mild relieve and little stomach trouble. However I suspect intestinal issues with moderate diarrhea and gas. Unsure at this time. Compared to Vicodin it is much more gentle on the "stomach" where Vicodin caused much painfull GERD type symptoms for me.

I have pain in both knees plus 1 shoulder & 1 hip. This is the only drug I've been given by the doctor to control the pain so I can fully function.

I have been taking tramadol for over a year now for sever lower back pain and an inflamed SI joint. It works better than Tylox and Vicodin. It works much better with Advil. It's the only reason I can function some days.
