"i have been taking tramadol for four years, it works for me! sometimes i want to get off tramadol, not because it doesn&#039;t work, but because i don&#039;t want to have a medicine at all. on the other hand i came to the conclusion i need to support my family; and tramadol does not upset my stomach, i was diagnosed with sciatica, a tear and tendonitis, very painful. tramadol doesn&#039;t take away completely my pain, but i can work without side effects for me. i was on mobic, it is good, but unfortunately it affects my stomach, it makes me constipated.
so i am going to stay with one medication until there is a better one, so far tramadol is the winner for me!"
