"Been on it for three days and feel like myself again. Decompression, fusion, injection therapy, muscle relaxers, opiates, nerve blockers, NSAIDs. Nothing has given me long-term relief the way Ultram ER has. Aside from the dependence issues, I think I found my wonder drug. I have degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis."

"I had scoliosis surgery about 30 years ago. Was in an auto accident, herniated cervical and lumbar discs. Now fused T1-S1. Lumbar fusion resulted in nerve damage with pain radiating through my right leg to my toes. Lyrica and Neurontin didn't help. Tramadol worked wonders. I take 2-50 mg tabs, and they get me moving. But they keep me up at night, the pain keeps me up all night too, so I take temazepam for sleep. Now I'm trying the extended-release version at night, hoping the lag time until they start working will allow me some sleep, and I'll feel better when I wake up."

"2005 started taking tramadol 50 mg, and within a few months started on 100 mg time release. These past few months I feel the medication hasn't helped like in the beginning. Sciatica pain 24/7, Thursday had another round of epidural, and the doctor wants me off tramadol. Well, tonight I've had such bad anxiety I can't sleep. I thought he would wean me off this medicine, like all other medicine in this category! Will call the doctor's office Monday, this is ridiculous to be miserable at night due to the doctor's advice. I'm tempted to just take a pill just to get some sleep, I have a little tingly on the right leg, but not in any pain. Hope this epidural works this time. Back in 2006, it did not help."
