Back Pain
"I don&#039;t take Tramadol every day, an eighty tablet  prescription has lasted me almost 2 years, but when I do it really helps with my chronic back and arthritis pain and seems to have no side effects that I notice, other than the added benefit of a great night&#039;s sleep and temporary alleviation of the depression that naturally goes along with pain. The big down side is it&#039;s addiction potential, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be much of a problem unless you have that tendency. I prefer alternative pain management to drugs such as visualization, positive self talk, massage, and meditation, but a little medication help at times is a nice adjunct that can give you a &quot;pain vacation.&quot;"
