I don't remember how bad off you use to be Bob but can you wear shoes all day at work with no problem? If so was there a time when wearing shoes was practically impossible for you at work?

I save the older shoes for rainy/snowy days and try to make the others last a bit longer that way. I've been fairly lucky with New Balance Velcro Walkers and Dr Scholl's walkers (velcro & laced) for work shoes. I am a born flat-foot. Cannot stand arches built into the shoe. I take out the factory innersoles with the arches and replace them with full gel innersoles and foam cushion pads on top of that. When I go to buy shoes, if the innersole won't come out, or the arch is built into the base of the shoe - its not for me. I take gels and foam with me to put into the new shoes in the store, to try on new pairs. I only am successful about 20% of the time (maybe less- I've tried on 6-8 pair of shoes at a single store and come away zero).

Tramadol: worked very well for a short period of time and then not at all. Vicodin has no effect either. But I seem to be the exception, so don't anyone go by my experience.

Im on ultracet which is a combo of Tylenol and Tramadol but Now basically take 75 mg a day along with 100mg lyrica and 10 mg elavil, But its the Tramadol that cuts out 80% of the burn a and I lurrrve it ,makes you feel good is a bonus I beleive 400mg is the max, this is one that could be fun to max out |

I am currently taking 50mg BD of Tramadol (1x 50mg of regular Tramadol and 1 x 50mg of slow release) with minimal side effects….however until a few months ago I had a foray into Tramadol 100mgs BD and developed significant Myoclonic Jerks almost from the first dose.
As a result of the jerks I had to reduce the Tramadol by half but commensurately increased my Paracetamol intake to the maximum amount per day, unfortunately! One of my concerns is what I will do if I require more analgesia in the future as it is obvious I will not be able to increase my Tramadol dosage beyond 100mgs per day. I am additionally on 300mg of Lyrica daily which I take before bed due to feeling like a zombie otherwise. Tramadol is a controlled substance in Australia which means that no repeat prescriptions are issued, so a revisit to the doctor for each new script is required, which can be a real pain! |

A question about Tramadol
does anyone else get Tinitus with this one? I have it naturally and it amplified on lyrica but went away over time. tramadol is a louder ringing though |
