"i had back surgery in 02 and i have severe leg and foot pain ever since. since that time i have been on ultram and am pain free. i know they just classified it as a narcotic, where i live, a year ago. it&#039;s a shame because i&#039;ve been on it for 6 years and have never felt better. it is addictive because when i go for longer than 24 hours without it, i have withdrawals but i&#039;ve been on it for 6 years so it is to be expected. i highly recommend this drug."
