You are right. That is the first thing a doctor will try to pawn off on you. Bout as useless as tits on a boar hog. I finally tell them to cut to the chase and give me some real pain relief.

That must have made a heck of a noise, when you "blew" your back out? Was it like a gunshot? Tire blowing? Grenade? 2,000 pound bomb??

Tramadol just recently got upgraded to a "controlled substance". For minor to moderate pain i found it worked alright. Actually, it just helped me mind the pain less. ...if that makes any sense. The pain didn't "go away". I still knew it was there, but just paid less attention to it. Invented by the Germans. The guys who brought us methamphetamine and other such wonders.

After my last back surgery, I was given 5mg hydrocodone for pain. I have told drs, what do you want me to do with these tick tacs. 1am, first night home I woke up in extreme pain 10 out of 10. After dicking around with the on call number for the Dr and a return trip to the E.R. I now went home with a new perscription. 2, 10mg oxycodone pills and 2, 5mg Valiums every 6 hrs.
On day 4, after taking them as required with no side effects, I took my next dose and started to fly. That told me I no longer needed to take them. I quit taking them and did not need them. Unfortunately, my legs are going numb again so it looks like another trip to the surgeon.
