Side effects: | | I did not experience any side effects from taking this medication. |
Comments: | | I was prescribed this medication after being seen by a doctor for a severely infected cat bite wound on the top of my left foot (which the doctor was concerned might become a systemic infection). The foot and my entire left leg were very painful (especially upon movement), so the doctor had me take Ultram ER to help relieve the pain. I was told to take 1 tablet daily as needed. I did as instructed for two consecutive days and did not have any relief from my pain. After I reported this to my doctor, she gave me a prescription for a stronger pain reliever (which did help). |

Overall rating: | | |

Condition / reason: | | Cervical Disk Degeneration and Lower Back Pain |
Dosage & duration: | | 50mg every 6 hrs as needed taken 2-3 times a day for the period of been taking for 2 weeks now. |
Other conditions: | | Tinitus, Unable to sleep |
Other drugs taken: | | Ambien | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | Ive been taking Tramadol for 2 weeks now. Ive been taking vicodin and percocuet for 7 months due to Cervial disk degeneration and lower back pain. I have to admit I loved taking Vicodin and percocuet. The problem is that they would knock me out. Tramadol has been awesome. It takes 90% of the pain away and I feel like I actually have energy again. From reading previous comments it sounds like I take a lower dose. Im really happy about that cause if I get use to it then I can up my dose and not feel worried about it. |
Side effects: | | I have had no side effects so far. I hope it stays that way. |
Comments: | | Treating for neck, shoulder, arms, lower back, hip, thigh and knee pain. |
