14 months of it. The first doc ran tests and told me I was fine. Even with feet/leg tissue/joint pain and C-ANA. "You are fine but if you need to see me, make an appointment". No thanks. But he is one that will get my letter (I haven't written yet... but going alone to Utah Ill have lots of down time and hope to accomplish it there). Dang I'm scared. Last few moments of a semi-normal life.

I was frustrated beyond belief at this particular appt....It wasn't until that exact moment, that I realized I was not getting the care I deserved.

Walk, run, or slither, Nancy. If you had an electrician that was that cavalier with your wiring, your house would be a charred mess by now. You deserve, and are paying for, a real doctor, not a poser, regardless of his degree. That is my honest opinion.

I am on a regimin of tramadol (37.5/325) 3 times a day. Good stuff... I have been on it for about 8 months and have no plans of quitting.....

I was on Tramadol for about 9 months, and also had no plans of quitting. I thought it was helpful with overall pain, then I started having horrible leg pains. I went shopping and forgot to take it, and missed the next dose too. Realizing I was not having any leg pain, I checked the side effects......not common, but yes, it was listed. I weaned off over the next few days and haven't had those leg pains since. I would have never suspected it was actually causing some of my pain. These drugs can be so tricky!
