Is Tramadol Effective In Treating Pain Due To Osteoarthritis?
i had tmj syndrome back in 2001 and was prescribed tramadol. I had a good experience for the 9 months that i used it. I stopped taking without any problems. Now, I am having symptoms of osteoarthritis that are starting to interfere with my ability to work. I think this medication can help me with this condition.

Hello,
Tramadol would decrease the pain due to osteoarthritis and studies have shown that it produces less systemic side effects than Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But it has an addiction potential and is a restricted drug in many countries.
