Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi Cindi - I'm sorry you were hurting so much yesterday. How much tramadol can you take at a time? Most docs say only 50 mg. at a time, but you can take up to 100 mg. at one time. Also, take tylenol along with it. Sometimes, the two together help. Other than that, I can only suggest icing or heating options. I sure hope you get some relief soon. Take care. Jeanne in WI Hi to all my fellow fibromites! I have been mostly lurking on this message board trying to learn all I can about my disease. However, today I need a little encouragement myself so I am turning to you who know best what I am talking about. I am in so much pain from the waist down that I can hardly bear it. I am using a walker to get around but it is still almost more than I can bear. The Tramadol I am taking doesn't seem to even be knocking the edge off. It is kind of overwhelming to think that this is mine for a lifetime! I should have stayed home from work today but sometimes it seems to actually help to take my mind off the pain. Thanks for listening. Cindi in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Cindi, you should talk to your doctor. My doctor will let me take 100 mg at a time on a regular basis and when I know that I am goign to be doing something phsyical (i.e., Renessaince Faire all day or something like that) she has even given me extra or told me to take an over the counter pain reliever with it.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi Cindi and everyone I am hurting a little today. I managed 10 minutes on my stationary bike yesterday and that does so help my legs in the long run. Hopefully I will get on it again tonight. It's something that I have to force myself to do and I have to force myself to get at least 10 mins. I can't seem to get past the 10 minute mark. With all that went on Monday (my dog, etc) I DID get a very good report from my doctor. My glucose is down to 82 and my cholesterol (which wasn't really high to begin with) is down to 137 and my bad stuff is down to 47! YEA! I take Tramadol with Ibuprofin or Naprisin also but not since I went from Cymbalta back to the Celexa. The druggest scared me. My Cymbalta should be there when I get home so I should start to see more pain relief and I can take the Tramadol again. I can take 1-2 Tramadol every 4 hours and I think they are 50 mg ea - I will have to check hugs in Phx Jeanne and Dave djgraves9497@...> wrote: Hi Cindi - I'm sorry you were hurting so much yesterday.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks to everyone for their support and helpful suggestions. I've decided to take the next 2 days off work and hopefully get in to see my dr for some additional pain meds. > Hi Cindi - I'm sorry you were hurting so much yesterday.
