I'm trying to keep it as pure and natural as possible, but if the pain gets excruciating, perhaps it's best to have something on hand rather than head to the ER and waste an entire day.
Mike, thanks. Unfortunately I have to stick to the cheaper options, if I do take anything, since I may not be able to have many or perhaps any meds covered, and may have to pay out of pocket.

Hi David, yes I'd say tramadol is the one to go with. I got the prescription in and ensure there is always some in the cupboard. It really is the thing for the days you don't think you will get through pain. Unlike Gabapentin and all the those types you don't have to worry about taking it all the time or missing doses. For me it is seductive, I have a better day all round on it and sometimes the day or so after I miss it. That's the psychological draw of it to be aware of. It does just provide an extra bit of happiness!
