I have a horrible pain in my left hip, went to see my doctor and told me it was a muscle pain, she advice to take tramadol with a combination of ibuprofen but I have not found any relief. Has anyone taken 100 mg of tramadol and felt better?
I was prescribed tramadol 50mg for pain and was told that I could take 800mg of ibuprofen?

Hi Sandy,
I agree with calling your doctor.
It's important in this day and age to report your prescribed meds are not working because they will assume they are.
I understand his rationale.
Tramadol is a narcotic controlled med.
Ibuprofen is an NSAID.
He is hoping to keep the the dose of Tramadol down. It's a good idea because the pain may be from inflammation. Did he tell you this?
So his rationale would be to use the Ibuprofen to treat the cause of the pain...
Inflammation - the max dose is 1200 mg/day. You have room to move up on this unless there are side effects or medical reasons. The doctor needs to prescribe it even those it's an OTC. Your case is different .
The Tramadol is being used to cover whatever pain you still may be having.
You are on a rather small dose.
