Chronic Pain
"I was prescribed Tramadol 50mg, along with Gabapentin 300mg  and Baclofen 10 mg in October, 2016 due to acute back pain from my L5-S1 impinging on my spinal cord. I had a laminectomy on December 22, 2017. Due to the bad side effects of Gabapentin, I decided to stop taking it in March, 2017. I also stopped taking the Baclofen at the same time.  

I have continued to take the Tramadol 4x day. I have had no side effects from the Tramadol as far as I can tell. I am taking the original amount I was prescribed 10 months ago and it is working quite well relieving my chronic pain. I have interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, osteoarthritis as well as lumbar pain from my L4-L5 herniated disks. I appreciate the pain relief I get. I am 69 years old."
