Back Pain
"When I was a young teen, I tore 90% of my low back muscles during a recreational activity.  My doctor did not want to put a 16 year old on narcotics so we went through the whole loop of prescription Advil, Tylenol, and Aleve.  Finally I told him none of those worked so he put me on Tramadol.  I am on 50mg every 4 hours as needed.  I like these since they allow me to still be functional, yeah it is short term, but I&#039;m functional.  They do make higher doses with the extended release coating which my sister has for her back pain also.  I would highly recommend this as a narcotic alternative.  "
