"i&#039;ve been having lower back pain since i was about eight. i&#039;m now eighteen and doctors have finally discovered i have a degenerative disc. there&#039;s nothing they can do about it, is basically what they told me. i&#039;ve now taken tramadol twice. though it does decrease my pain greatly, i suffer from severe migraines and nausea. i would recommend percocet. i don&#039;t get any side effects from percocet."
