HOpe this one is a 'keeper'!

Yes MRI's especially for the back and neck are well, times when I at least SUDDENLY have the urge to squirm when in the 'tube'.

Ultracet/ultram/tramadol...they seem to be interchangable on drug websites, but there is a distinction between the opiods alone and those with the acetepheminiphene....[That IS Tylenol, isn't it?] The combo seems to provide much more bang for the buck [in terms of nerve pain] and fewer side effects [as in UMMM constipation?]. Strangely, I've been on both straight Percocet and the Tramadol combo stuff and I prefer the latter much more. Fewer overall side effects and just enuf meds to take things down a notch or three.

Did you get a sample pak to 'try'? Far cheaper and easier to find out that way, less waste if it doesn't work well. - j
