pain
"I had taken Tramadol in conjunction with off label use of Neurontin for bulging discs and a horrid backache, the worst of 20 years. After about 4 days, I felt great. Then about 1 month into therapy, I drank a beer and had a seizure about 1 1/2 hours later. It caused me to go into respiratory arrest. My doctor never cautioned me about drinking ONE beer, despite the fact that I'd told him I did drink. His lack of foresight caused a situation in which I nearly died. As a result of the seizure, which occurred while I was standing, my L4 was shattered and I was left with nerve being compressed by bone. It has caused me permanent nerve damage and a limp. "
