I've been talking Tramadol for about 15 years for my arthritis and I've had great pain management. A couple years ago my Doctor retired and the new Doctor I was sent to told me he didn't prescribe opioids for my condition. Instead he wanted me to take vast amounts of Tylenol. Even after I explained that I don't consider that safe for an old guy like me. I told him I would worry about my liver and he tossed back, as he was leaving, that I should worry more about my kidneys while taking it. How was I supposed to take that. Was it a joke? I decided he was simply ignoring my concerns. I never went back to him. I insisted on a different Doctor. As soon as I explained my situation to my new physician he said "I'll prescribe Tramadol for you". I know that Tramadol is not appropriate for everyone but one in the morning and occasionally one to sleep is just perfect for me. Doctors are not always right.
