back pain
"2005 started taking tramadol 50mg, and the within a few months started on 100mg time release. These past few months I feel the medication hasn't helped like in the beginning. Sciatica pain 24/7, Thursday had another round of epidural, and doctor wants me off tramadol. Well tonight I've had such bad anxiety I can't sleep.  I thought he would ween me off this medicine, like all other medicine in this category! Will call the doctors office Monday, this is ridiculous to be miserable at night, due to the doctors advise.  I'm tempted to just take a pill just to get some sleep, I have a little tingly on the right leg, but not in any pain.  Hope this epidural works this time.  Back in 2006 it did not help. "
