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 have charcot joint of the ankle, and osteoarthritis/osteoporosis. When I began taking Tramadol 4 years ago, once a day eased the pain. Now I take it 2-3 times a day because of increased pain. It does take awhile to kick in, there is not immediate relief. But, it enables me to function well without pain.

It minimizes back pain but it causes insomnia and dry mouth. I won't take it at night.

I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia. This has been a godsend drug for me. I still have pain, but the edge is taken off. The biggest plus for me is that I am able to sleep soundly at night, for the first time in years, resulting in less pain. I wake up alert, well rested and very near pain free.

I am currently taking this medicine for my back. My spine is all messed up. It does better than any other pain medicine.I am glad that this pill is not a narcotic because I would not take it.
