back pain
"When I was a young teen, I tore 90% of my low back muscles during a recreational activity.  My doctor did not want to put a 16 year old on narcotics so we went through the whole loop of prescription Advil, Tylenol, and Aleve.  Finally I told him none of those worked so he put me on Tramadol.  I am on 50mg every 4 hours as needed.  I like these since they allow me to still be functional, yeah it is short term, but I'm functional.  They do make higher doses with the extended release coating which my sister has for her back pain also.  I would highly recommend this as a narcotic alternative.  "
