Yes I have taken this many times but not for a while the only thing I can say is; it does relieve pain if used correctly and I will attached a little story to this, 6yrs ago when I was living in Mactan I developed sever pain in my knees and calf muscles and this would wake me in the middle of the night and I had to get up and walk around for 20mins to relieve this, I attended the fairly new and considered top hospital in Cebu for tests Chung Hau, this went on for a couple of days and I had every expensive test possible including an MRI also I had consulted with 3 specialists this cost me around P30K in total only to be told I was a Fat B@stard wearing the wrong shoes, which were Merrel Sandals. The Docs there were just a bunch of Quacks, this turned out to be a simple problem easily fixed, they had me on a few different pain killers but none were all that effective. A friend of mine on hearing this story asked what I was using to which I said Tramadol, he then told me; DO NOT use them as prescribed and instead of taking one in the morning take two after breakfast, this gives you a bit of a hit and you may feel light headed for a short period, next day I had the two after one hour I was able to walk as normal (I had been limping before this) and almost forgot about the pain, also this was the first night I had a good night sleep for a month, next day I did two in the morning followed by one every 4hrs after, that second day I walked a couple of miles, next day I did not feel the need for the Tramadol and that cured me of my problem. Two years after this the problem started again fortunately I was back in UK, there a proper Diagnoses was given, I had Bungalow Knees a condition brought on by not using stairs, simple cure, 3 times a day walk up and down a flight of stairs, in my case there was only two steps into my Bungalow, so 3 times a day I stepped up and down these 10 times, after around 5 days the problem was resolved. So there you have it, not such a good idea to find a house to retire in that does not have stairs, this I did at aged 50yrs and aged 64 the problems started, I guess being a Fat B@stard does not help?
I gave you an AGREE specifically for part of what you wrote (although obviously it is all correct) - try to guess which part?
I had a problem because of renting an apartment - I blamed the landlord but he said it was from my childhood. Eventually it went to Court (even to the High (heels) Court) and it was found in my favour as the Judge stated I had FLAT feet.
