Pain
"In all honesty the first time I had tramadol for pain it did nothing for me. It was after my hip surgery. It didnt work for my surgical pain 4 years ago. But the last surgery I had *gallbladder* removal it worked amazingly well.  I&#039;m not sure why it just did. I requested to be put on it bc the hydro codeine stopped working. I didn&#039;t want something stronger I wanted something different. And this last time I fell down my stairs. My hips get stiff sometimes and stop working properly. When this happens I fall down alot. I manged to bruise my lower back to my hip. Doctor gave me tramadol for the acute pain from the bruises on the hip. And it&#039;s been wonderful I can move no pain from stiffness I can move in ways I haven&#039;t been able to in years"
