Hi, Hdiriwn here. I'm very glad I got the acdf surgery because of what my surgeon said to me. He said that if it wasn't eventually done that my spinal cord could be cut completely. Although, nothing feels better at this point I knew it would have gotten worse. I still have numbness and weakness in arms and legs and really don't want to get out of bed and can't even imagine having a job right now. I was wondering if anyone out there has tried TRAMADOL? it is supposed to be non addictive and works well. Let me know , thanks

Hi ~ Yes, I've tried Tramadol, and all it did for me was give me a huge migraine! It was useless for me. My doctor finally put me on an opiate, which worked much better.

Why not post on the Spinal Disorders forum? You'll find much more information there, and you'll get more replies. The people there have been thru what you have, and can certainly relate.

So I hope to see you there. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
