Chronic Pain
"I have had chronic pain and peripheral neuropathy of the legs and feet for about 4 years, a lovely gift I received just before my 40th birthday that eventually landed me in the hospital in so much pain that my blood pressure was dangerously high.  I had been put on every pain med imaginable, including fentanyl and dilaudid, which made me terribly sick.  Fast forward 4 years and my PCP wanted me to try tramadol in conjunction with my gabapentin 600 mg 3x/day and clonidine 0.1 mg 3x/day.  So far it has been a miracle.  I can finally put on my sneaks and take long walks again, go biking and shop without having to sit on a bench every 10 minutes.  I was prescribed 50 mg of tramadol 2x/day but so far I&#039;ve only taken it once a day and that&#039;s all!"
