Chronic Pain Thoughts: VOL 48

 

Dear Reader,


Have you ever tried Tramadol? It's all I've ever been given


I woke up one morning not being able to move my neck, I went to the doctor where I had 2 nurses examine me. I was given tramadol and found that at the time, it worked for the rest of my pain. My doctor prescribed me 15 pills per month (I could only be in pain every other day). I asked my then pain provider and they agreed to prescribe for me. At the end I was taking 50mg 4x per day. To little or no result.


Back in October a study done by BMJ Evidenced Based Medicine came out with information that states “Tramadol found to offer limited relief for chronic pain while raising risks of serious side effects”


I could have told them all that and I am not a total medical professional!


Research your medications first, consult a pharmacist and follow The Doctor Patient Forum
