Pain
"Tramadol is a very good medication for moderately severe pain. For Bad Pain, taking it with an NSAID markedly improves it&#039;s effectiveness, as you are now acting systemically on both the inflammation and neurologic components of pain. Taking it with a caffeinated beverage, (such as cola, or coffee, etc), can also help, as can B Complex &amp; Magnesium.  Hot or Cold packs to the affected area (depends if the painful area feels Hot or Cold, one will make it better, the other one makes it worse usually in my experience). Also massage may also help. Acupuncture works synergistically I have found. Note: There are many &quot;Generics&quot; for this Med, Only the original &quot;Brand&quot; &amp; The Mylan Generic really work the same in my experience."
