pain
"I suffer from degenerative disk disease and I've had surgery for this twice in my lifetime.  I am only 43 and already on Disability.  I have tried taking Ultram/Tramadol for my back pain and I feel absolutely NO relief when I take it.  I even got brave and took 2 at a time for a day (my normal dose being 50mg every 8 hours).  Still nothing.  I've had at least three different doctors recommend or prescribe this to me over the last 4 years and have never once had it lower the pain in my back.  I am glad to hear that it works for a lot of people, I just wish it would work for me."
