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 fell & had an SI joint out which caused muscle & tendon pain & soreness even after having it put back in place & doing PT exercises. I could not sleep well & rest. It has helped tremendously during the slow healing process.

I took this med after having oral surgery related to dental implants. It was effective for pain, also helped with anxiety and best of all,didn't constipate me like Vicodin which was previously prescribed for the same issue.

Cannot function without this pain reliever. Using it for hip, sciatic nerve,and spinal arthritic pain. It is slow acting, takes about an hour to get relief, but does relieve pain. I probably wait too long before taking it, not wanting to overuse or become addicted to it. Doctors are recommending hip replacement. And nerve ablation. I am trying to make a decision that is right for me!

I started in 2007 and if it weren't for the time-release 300mg I take every night I wouldn't sleep the entire night w/o waking in extreme pains all over my body. 20 Years I am still un- diagnosed as to why but at least it helped me to become a person again,mom and wife. I hope I don't have to go to a more additive drug. There are times that it doesn't work but I have been using it for many years- that is to be expected. But, I suffered for 11 years with constant pain until one compassionate doctor explained the vicious cycle of pain and if you don't stop the pain your body will keep getting worse due to inflammation, no undisturbed sleep, which is what your body needs to restore itself - Yes if you take too high dosage you can have addiction related Problems but if you can just stick to one pill at night- well, it has worked for me- I won't take any single doses of 50 mg during the day and it put my "withdrawal" symptoms at bay.

Yuk is all I can say. I got sooooo sick to my stomach. Same with any kind of codeine or vicodin. Felt lightheaded in a very bad way. I took it for a broken hand for less than 24 hours and threw them away. It took 15 hours for the nasty side effects to go away. No more prescription pain killers for me...EVER. The pain was more manageable than the wooziness.

I have OA and have had both knees and a hip replaced. Other joints not as bad but still painful. Tramodol is a life saver for me. Have used it for several years and it has given me my life back.

Have been taking 50mg of tramadol 3 times daily for several yrs. now. It helps tremendously and is not "bad" on my stomach. No side effects. I find it also helps with my overall well-being, i.e. anxiety, etc. I am 67 and have a heart problem also, but does not have any adverse effect on my heart.
