Brief Answer:
try combination and review to a physician

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Tramadol is a good analgesic drug.
It is effective for control of moderate degree of pain.
It is an opioid group of drug and may lead to development of physical dependence and constipation if taken for prolonged periods.
50 mg twice to thrice daily is ideal dose.
If you still have pain then you can go for a combination of Tramadol+Paracetamol. This combination is more effective and has opioid sparing role.
You should also review to a physician if your pain has a neuropathic nature then you may need different kind of drugs.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
