Hello,
Tramadol is a safe medication to take for the pain.
I would recommend trying taking Acetaminophen.
It is much safer.
If it won't be effective, you can try Tramadol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Yes, Tramadol would be safe for you.
It is a potent analgesic, with a potency comparable to opioids but free from side effects encountered with opioids like cardio-respiratory depression.
It is cardio safe and renal safe.
You might feel a bit nauseating....that's all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
