"i suffer from my l4 &amp; l5 disc herniation, knee problems where sometime the injection of cortisone works and then sometimes not and recently i broke my shoulder in 3 separate parts now going on the 4th time that i re injured it again. my previous doctor went out her way to make sure that i didn&#039;t have pain . unfortunately now i had this new doctor who decided that tramadol  was the best thing for my pain . it didn&#039;t do anything for my pain  her or my pain management dr didn&#039;t even seem to care.  she finally prescribed 5 mg of oxycodone and i am a big guy! this does doesn&#039;t help me. beacuase of bad apples we have to pay with very little pain relief."
