pain
"I cracked my pelvis in two places after wrecking my bicycle.  I was given Tramadol HCL upon leaving the emergency room.  I have taken 1 (50 mg) each day for three weeks and sometimes 2 especially during the first week following my accident when the pain was most intense.  The most troubling side effect for  me is blurred vision.  I sleep well after taking the Tramadol and am relatively pain-free for about 6 hours.  However, no more for me.  I just can't take the chance of dependency.  I will try and manage with over the counter medicines instead."
