I'm glad you are coping. It's hard when we only see such a one dimensional aspect of someone's experience on here.

Looking for another doctor may well be a good thing. I hope you can find someone you feel is able to provide you with better quality care. I'm slightly surprised you are not being told to take paracetamol with the tramadol. It is a fairly standard practice (unless there is a medical reason not to) to prescribe a maximum dose of paracetamol daily with an opioid medication (1gm taken 4times a day). Although you are unlikely to feel any direct relief from the paracetamol itself, it has the effect of making the opioid drugs work more effectively so for that reason it's worth considering. It's very cheap to buy too. Something to discuss with your doctor perhaps.

I still believe strongly that there is no substitute for having people to support you in 'real life' so I hope you have friends and family on whom you can lean for real practical and emotional help.
