Hi Roxie, i am pretty good these days mine they have healed a lot, but what worked well for me was Tramadol slow release- 200 mg x 2 a day, my doc used to give me another 100 mg of tramadol, so when it was real bad i was taking 300 mg x 2 per day, [every 12 hours] the limit in OZ and the US is suppose be 400 mg a day, but i suppose its still up to the doctor and also 25 mg Endep in the morning and 100 mg at night.
I was given the short active Tramadol at first but i found the slow release much more better than the others.
What i liked about Tramadol was it didn't give me any brain fog like some of the others like Neurotin, oxycontin etc.but we all react differantly to meds, what may help one person may not help another, its a trial and error sort of thing and sometimes some meds need time to work the best.
so good luck,
Brian
