"just recently prescribed tramadol 50 mg and it has been the miracle medicine for my osteoarthritis pain.  the very first dose &amp; i was able to move without any issues.  i am only 42 yrs old and fear being crippled due to this nasty disease.  i am hoping this medicine will continue to work for me.  hydrocodone 5-325 just wasn&#039;t cutting it for me anymore, needed something stronger as the pain was getting truly unbearable.  i would recommend others to try it.  i&#039;ve read a lot of reviews and have seen mixed reviews but for the most part others are happy with the results like myself."
