I take Fentanyl 75mc patch every 72 hours and 10mg oxycodone for break through pain control.
I have 2 Femoral hips (need 2 replacement hips), 5 collapsed disks in my spine and a partially torn rotator cup. 2 healing fractured ribs and tendonitis in my left wrist. I also have anxiety, depression and social withdrawal.

tramadol is not s joke as you put it. It's s drug that is used for most people with chronic pain and works well. I think you mean for you it's properties aren't strong enough to remove the pain your feeling. I've used tramadol for 10 years and it's worked very well to help manage my back pain.

One since taking tramadol I have become tollerrent and needed naproxen, diazapam amytriptaline, gabipebtin and pre gabslin to help manage the pain. I'm afraid I'm now on Fentynal patches but the steroid injections I've had are wearing off so I e gone from trying 12mg to 25mg Fentynal which worked for a month with nothing else to now havingvto add tramadol to control the breakthrough pain. I could just up the Fentynal but I'd rather see what I could use than filling my system with even more powerful opioids

People. You write things here as if GPs are out to abuse you all. Each patient reacts differently to meds. If you feel sick or in more pain as an adult stop taking your meds and Go back, report your findings and try something new

'How could the GP do this to you' really.

Read the contents on the warnings and side effects.

I was taking Tramadol 50 milligrams & started using the Fentenol patch it worked pretty well for about several months but ,then I started to become very depressed & I found out that is one of the side effects of using both meds. So now I use either one or the other .

I am on 100 mcg fentanyl and also take 7.5 mg vicodens for breakthrough pain..Im also on 3 0.5 mg xanax a day. I have severe diabetic neuropathy...i was going 3 days or more w/o sleep due to the pain. Thank god I found a dr. Who gives me enough drugs to handle my pain but who also watches and monitors me closely. Anyway when its time to change my fentanyl patch I leave the old one on for about 2 hours so the new one has time to kick in before taking the old one off. This helps prevent lag time as pain is harder to control if you wait till your hurting to change it. Ive also found...and my dr. Verified this that sometimes a patch will last say 4 days and other days less then the normal 3 days. Youll get to where you can tell how your patch is doing. Best of luck.

I was in the same boat as you, I contacted the Minister of health and after a few months , the pain clinic contacted me and told me what medication I need, so now I have Fentanyl 75 and 2x 150 Tramadol, and my pain is managed. Please stand up for your self and keep complaining about your pain, we know how it affects our lives we are the ones that suffer. So dont give up sometimes we have to fight for what is right. God bless you and take it easy one step at a time.

Tramadol does NOT give me ANY relief from my pain. Fentanyl on the other hand does but it takes so long to work so you can't forget to change your patch atthe correct time.

I forgot to say that obviously not only was I getting just a quarter or less of the original pain relief, but it was wearing off hours before it should, due to the fact that half of my intestines are missing, so proper absorption was not taking place.

I was on fentanyl 50 for a few years, and plus one 50mg tramadol at night, and topiramate 100. About six months ago I felt the fentanyl wasn't working well any more, so I came off it, and bumped up the tramadol to 400mgs, in two lots of slow release each day. My chronic pain comes as a result of one failed back surgery, where the surgeon misfired the screw, missing the pedicle altogether, and shooting it through my spinal canal narrowly missing the spinal cord. I had it removed a few years later, but damage was done, further fusion one level up,2 disc replacement in neck. Then as a result of devastating nerve damage, due to spine damage, I had multiple prolapses, which had to be repaired, hysterectomy, colectomy, and all the bits below it, and now have an ileostomy, and permanent pain both neuropathic and mechanical. Anyway it got so bad I thought I might have something really nasty like cancer, so I went for a scan. It came back clear, but showed that I have more degeneration in spine, and a neurogenic bladder. The doc also said I would certainly have huge adhesions, but he would not touch them, as that would invariably make them worse. So I had to do some serious thinking about pain relief. Also some research. I discovered that although I was on the highest allowed dose of tramadol, it was only equivalent to one quarter of what I was on six months ago with the patch, and furthermore slow release tramadol is absorbed in the stomach, the small bowel, and the large bowel. No wonder I have been in such horrible pain. I thought it was in my head. why did my doctor let me suffer so every hour of every day and most of the night. She is a nice enough person, but why. I felt really upset. So now I am back on the patch, but have had to start on a 12mcg, but I hope to get back to where I was as quick as possible. I do feel relieved that I found an answer anyway. Thanks for reading.
