| tramadol
I am new to this site so i hope I am posting the right place. I have been clean and sober for 6 years. I have been having foot pain increasingly over several months. I have a neuroma that needs surgery. The pain is causing me not to be able to walk. I wanted to do something for the pain until surgery can be scheduled. I asked my doctor, who knows I am in recovery in fact has been my doctor since before my recovery, If there was something I could take that was non narcotic. He perscribed Tramadol. I picked up the perscription and took half a tab and then started reading the inserts and have been freaking out ever since. Should I be taking this stuff? Will it lead me to a relapse? Am I just being a big baby about the pain? Who needs to walk anyway? I have heard so many stories about people relapsing from pain medication I am freaked out. I had been taking 800 mg of ibuprophen every 4 hours with very little relief.
Any advice?
