User Reviews for Tramadol

I've been taking Tramadol twice a day for years (for bulging disc and arthritis) and it definitely helps. Didn't realize the "withdrawal" issues, but ran out, now that it is classified as a CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. Not sure if I will go back on it or not. It is a good med for me.

Have been taking for treatment of Fibromyalgia chronic pain for last 3+ years. Have had no side effects only less pain. First time my pain became unbearable to making me ill was not taking regularly at same time daily. After 12 years of every other kind of treatment offered me for pain management this one is a winner!!!

By itself it is about as effective a peeing on a wild fire. But My Dr has me taking it along with hydro codon and it makes the norco work better and last longer so I'm taking less of it and only need twice a day instead of four

This was like taking baby aspirin. No good.

Tramadol HCl 50mg four times daily was prescribed for me after I expressed concern about continuing the oxycodone / acetaminophen prescribed immediately following wrist surgery (ORIF). After three weeks (and discussion with the surgeon's PA) I shifted to 'As needed'. Some pain relief occurs within one-half hour. The anti-inflammatory effect seems negligible. The scar border is noticeably red and the wrist has not fully reduced in size after two months

Helps with the chronic pain of Arthritis. I cannot take anti-inflammatory medications due to allergies, so this is a welcome alternative medication.

Usually gives relief although sometimes not as well as I would like. I have taken tramadol for a number of years and noticed dizziness, some nausea, and constipation. However, these are tolerable because the medication does alleviate my pain.

I have severe OA, and it's starting to affect my ability to do my job. This med has been a lifesaver for me.

Gives me headaches and upset stomach, neither of which I hardly ever get. Not helping with pain either. Useless

Takes my pain down to a dull throb when taken regularly. Usually need to chase with ibuprofen.

I'm an very active 62 year old Male. My mind is still young at heart but my body seems to slow me down at times. My Doc prescribed Tramadol 50mg 3 times per day after a torn rotor cuff and complete shoulder reconstruct. Once he took me off I noticed how well it worked for the stiffness and swelling of Fingers, Hand, Wrist, Neck, Ankle stiffness and L-4 to S-1 Fusion pain are moderately relieved without the "Fuzzy Head Feeling" of other stronger and addictive drugs. We restarted with 3 per day and now after 4 years 4 per day till now at 7 years using this Dosage. This is my ideal goal and I'm completely satisfied with the modest relief I achieve. The swelling and stiffness associated with my arthritic joint pain is relieved to a point that I can enjoy activity including very fine and steady work with my fingers. I've tried other medications that work slightly better but are more addictive with that "Fuzzy Head Feeling" I don't want or like. I am pleasantly surprised and happy with 4 to 5 (50mg)tablets per day, this usually only changes in relation to the rapid barometric changes. IF the Barometer changes slowly and in only one direction then I don't need the additional tablet. This Medication has been very beneficial for me and my conditions and gives me the desired relief I expect.Read More Read Less

I was in horrific back pain so Dr prescribed this drug for me. although it makes me lightheaded , that is better than the pain. I can function so much better than before using this product.

It helps with pain, it also seems to affect my short term memory.

not treating the gout i have in my feet.

I take 2 50 mg pills a day for arthritis pain, hands feet, knees everywhere. I have been taking it for 3 years with no ill effects...if I miss a dose by a few hours the pain moves in and I know I forgot to take it. It enabled me to do housekeeping work for 6 years, 5 days a week..I am 70 years old and would not have been able to do it without this drug.

I have a terrible lower back pains. I feel I have to urinate before I have a bowel movement. I was sitting without a feeling to have to urinate and when I got up pee ran down my leg and I could not hold it.

it really helps with intense pain.
