Please see our forum guidelines.
I took 50mg of Tramadol eight times daily along with 100mg of Diclofenac for years for years, and found no relief at all for my chronic back, neck and referred pain to my arms, hands and legs. They changed the Diclofenac after a sepcetimia with my kidneys failing, and put me on 500mg of paracetamol eight times daily.Tthey put me on Pregabalin 150mg four times daily, It hasn't worked but,if I miss even one of the daily doses, within an hour I'm ill too, as well as eibng in pain.
