I take Tramadol usual every 4 to 6 hours and it helps with my back pain and gives me energy however I do have to take breaks every few days because it can cause poopy problems lol but seriously can constipate you and it also helps to eat apples and other foods that can help you stay regular 👍

I am prescribed tramadol for pain as needed. It takes the edge off the pain. I would just be aware that it may causeconstipation depending on how often you take it.

Good luck with the gabapentin @champy it wasn’t worth the side effects for me and I’ve been thru all the medications for my fibromyalgia and I found Cymbalta or duloxetine (generic) to work the best I take the max dosage and I love how it stops the tingling and luckily have no side effects I was so relieved when I started taking years ago.
