"i have suffered from moderate to severe back pain for 15 years. i have a disk herniation and pinched nerve. lots of pain all day. nothing relieves it. i have been on tramadol 50mg. after 4 years on the tram became addicted. i loved it bcause i could work like hell on it. pain gone. took anywhere from 100-400mg a day. i had doc take me off. took some of my wife&#039;s here and there. i call my doc and told her she had to give me something i was missing work a lot and i just can&#039;t go without something for the bad days. she give me ultracet. literally does almost nothing for me but makes me nauseated. maybe it dont work because i been taking tram up until she gave it to me? built a high tolerance?"
