Hi Ryan, welcome to SR, it is a great place for support...It is great that you're sober, that is quite a story...
I am sorry to hear about your back pain, I am glad that the Tramadol has helped with your pain and has worked for you in helping you stay sober.
However, I just wanted it noted for others here on SR that Tramadol is an addictive drug. Also, Tramadol can cause seizures in some people. It is not an ideal recovery plan.
