Back Pain
"I was prescribed Tramadol when diagnosed with a herniated disc at the start of this year. I have found Tramadol to be an effective painkiller, but at a price. Following my operation I suffered very bad withdrawal, the hot sweats for the first couple of weeks were quite frankly awful. I was taking 100mg 3 times a day. Unfortunately, post op I am still suffering pain, and occasionally take 1 x 50mg once or twice a day. Again I suffer awful sickness, dizziness and headaches. At night I suffer from nightmares, and generally do not feel myself. For those prescribed tramadol please be cautious as whilst it is a good painkiller, the side effects are very unpleasant."
