My doc prescribed tramadol 50 mg for what I consider to be sever pain for a bulging disc. I ve been taking it for three days and getting almost no relief. Can t stand, walk, sit or lay down get any comfort. I just found a prescription that I had been given for a gall bladder removal a few months ago for hydrocodon acetaminophen and never felt the need to use. Could I use it for my current problem? It s Saturday night and I ve shaking from the pain in my back, hip, and leg.
