Do You Find Tramadol Helping Some Of The Joint Pain?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Roseburg, OR

I had a non-RA problem with my hip and the doc gave me tramadol to help with the pain. I only use them when I have to because I don't want to get addicted to them. But I am finding it also seems to dull the hand RA pain. Does anyone else use Tramadol for pain?

Hi, I take tramadol 4 times a day. It does not make me drowsy. No other side effects. According to my Dr it is not additive. It definitely helps with my RA pain control 🥰

Hi everyone
Here in New Meico they do not give out pain pills, you wouldd have to take muscle relaxers I take Tranadine I think that's how you spell it. But anyway, you would have to go to the ER to get any relief. Let's just say the ER and I are in first name bases
So the only thing that helps is 2 asprin and a muscle relaxer it takes the edge off the pin
It's not relive the pain but it's not to bad I can bear it. I also take Lyrica and Panqinel, I have more than one dieas. I have 12 medications I take yea I'm a mess. Sleeping is almost none exciting I sleep 2 to 4 hours a night 🌃. The only time I sleep is when I'm put out for surgery.
I broke my ankel in April and surgery in May where they put a steal plate and 10 screws ouch went froma wrap, cast, boot to a brace and boot.
Phical Theropy is really hard for me I know it supose to hurt when you didn't use your right foot for 4 months and now I have to wake up myleg it's very week. I do go for walks to keep the toes and foot from staffing up. Well that's my storie I wish everyone a good week and pai less one
GOD BLESS

I was originally given tramadol years ago because of bulging discs and degenerative discs. I only took it every once in awhile. I do not like taking pain pills. But since my RA and the extreme pain sometimes from my nerve pain and my last hand surgery, sometimes it's once a day. It doesn't effect me as bad as other pain meds. Even when I had that last hand surgery, I only took the strong narcotics for 2 days then went to 1 tramadol twice a day. The pain doc said I could have done 2 - 3 times a day. I didn't want to do that.
