pain
"I have chronic back pain from psoratic arthritis and fused SI joints. I also had rotator cuff surgery recently. I am prescribed 50mg of tramadol every six hours. This medication gives me little to no relief. When I was prescribed percocet initially, I experienced complete relief and could perform my job and daily activities, including golf, with NO side effects. My quality of life was awesome. I have an extremely labor intensive job, and I can barely move anymore. I am extremely frustrated with this medication, and my doctor will not prescribe any opoids because of the federal regulations, and some seniors are abusing the medication. I have MRI and Xray results that verify my chronic pain. Still, no relief. Tramadol does not work"
