"i broke my back and my leg 2 years ago. for a while i tried to keep working w/o any type of pain supprescent, but as i started getting busier i had to do something. i started taking tramadol i can limit myself to two pills a day only taking them at lunch time they do a great job at just helping me make it through the end of the day. but i noticed after a while i had to start taking them on the weekends too otherwise i would get an upset stomach, diarrhea, and would have a hard time sleeping."
