With having complications with a THR Tramadol 200SR was prescribed 1 x nightly & 1 x morning. During the day I was taking up to 4 x 50mg with up to 4 x 1000mg Paracetamol if required. I found the Tramadol more than coped with my pain and only post operative was Paracetamol taken even then not on a regular basis.

I have Rheumatoid arthritis and when I have flare-ups, I take one Untram and most of the time, my pain becomes under control. It is quite effective for me.

My mom takes Tramadol to help control restless legs. Taken with another pain med (Gabapentin) my mother's restless leg syndrome is under control. She was unable to take Requip for this condition as it caused her to faint. My mom is in her 90's.
