I am not sure but I would personally give the ultram a try. I take the generic version I believe of ultram, its called tramadal for pain when its needed.

And it works very well. I used to have to take loratab too at one point a long time ago. B ut I found that I could taper down to tramadal from the loratab too. So I would give it a try.

And I even had some of the samples of ultram, and it worked even better
for me that the generic form, but that I'm not sure why. So maybe it will
for you too. So the pain will be better.

I would definately give it a try. It works lots better than ibprofen for me.
And my doctor prescribed it because I was to be on tylenol or ibprofen for
life from a situation in my elbow.

But have had other injuries and this is all I need when I have other problems, and don't always need it for the other any mroe now.
