Restless Legs Syndrome
"I was originally prescribed tramadol more than 20 years ago.  I have a severe case of RLS that affects my legs, arms, and torso.  Anytime I am at rest no matter what time of the day I begin to look like a fish out of water flopping all over the place and the sensation is unbearable.  I have had RLS since childhood and has steadily gotten significantly worse over the years.  If I didn%u2019t have Tramadol to take care of RLS I would probably jump off a bridge or shoot myself, IT IS THAT BAD WITH ME.  I am always at the mercy of my Dr. for a script now that it has been re-classified with the FDA and is now listed as a controlled substance (thanks to those who abuse medications)."
