Now I m prescribed tramadol and flexoral for fibromyalgia. Is this ok and should I be on something like lyrica or other meds? Thanks for nothing!!!! You should have said this cost money on my card. Shame on you.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
That is a good combination for your pain relief, and it will help a lot.
So you should start taking it, and if the pain is controlled, then nothing require because fibromyalgia is a condition in which cause is not known. Therefore, the only treatment is pain medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
