User Reviews for Tramadol

I only took this drug for a few days; because, I have BPH, and while taking this drug it had an adverse effect on my prostate making it VERY difficult to urinate!!

It has worked better for me than any other pain kiler (Panadeine Forte, Brufen,

back pain to painful for the use of trtandol. the condition in my back is so bad that no strong medicines seem to help in getting me relief.

I am a diabetic with pain in my feet. I take this drug 3 times a day. the drug has worked well the past 5 yrs. as long as taken as prescribed and not missing a dose.

Tramadol did not much for my pain after knee surgery. Just took the edge off and didn't last much. Waited the 4 hrs because I had no choice, but it was with excruciating pain.

I had total knee replacement surgery and ortho prescribed Tramadol to take in between my hydrocodones which don't work much either. All Tramadol really does for me is relaxes me and makes me drowsy.

first off I have more then 1 reason for taking this treatment I also have chronic pain, joint damage causing pain, along with muscle pain and stiffness. I have been on tramadol for the past 31/2 years it no longer is any help for me I find myself taking more than what I am suppose to, up to at times 7 at a time. I am so ready to go back to my stronger meds.(which I requested to be taken off of) they helped me for about 6 mos. my nerve damage is irreversible my other problems are all long term. I would rather mask my pain than to live with it.Read More Read Less

I have been taking Tramadol for 3 years, changed after codeine became ineffective for pain relief. I am prescribed up to 8 x 50mls a day though rarely, thankfully, need to take that amount, I have displaced discs in my neck, inoperable due to high risk, but the Tramadol helps me live an active and 'normal' life. Without I am in severe and chronic pain with my head tilting to one side. I agree with a few of the negatives described, I don't sleep as well, constipation occasionally, but on the whole they totally work for me, and therein lies the solution for people, you have to find a pain medication that suits you, with maybe a few side effects that don't hinder normal everyday life. With the Tramadol I work full time shifts, deal with my two horses and actually ride, without I am scrunched up, head tilting to one side and in chronic pain.......I can put up with the side effects as it has given me back a quality of life I had honestly thought I had lost ;)Read More Read Less

I was taking tramadol for an ankle injury then stopped. I suffer from chronic migraines and one day I took it in desperation and it helped significantly. Don't get me wrong if I have a full blown migraine I need to take my prescribed meds, but a milder to moderate one responds well to tramadol.

This medication works for me , however now I can't stop my nerves in my right eye to stop jumping what do I do . Stop taking it!

I have had this medication a couple of time and thought it handled my pain well within a short amount of time. Recently, I was given 50mg pills for a sinus infection. The 1st pill took the pain away within minutes but I experienced some skin itching during the night.I've just taken my 2nd dose and feel relief and a little lightheaded but not anything I can't deal with. I did eat before I took meds. to hopefully avoid nausea.

I've been using Tramadol for six months and find it very helpful. It does NOT eliminate the pain but it has helped me function. I have severe pain from degenerative arthritis and suffered an accident that exacerbated my pain. I can barely walk but with the medication I can continue daily activities.

I have been taking this medication since I had back surgery in 2009. The surgeon recommended it. He did not want me taking tylenol because it inhibited healing after surgery. I also prefer tramadol because it doesn't hurt my liver like tylenol can.
