Is Tramadol A Good Medication For Lower Back Injury With Sciatica?

Is tramadol a good medication for lower back injury with sciatica, I guess it would be chronic, since it has been almost 7 months now. I have been to phys. therapy, and also a Functional Recovery Program that deals with chronic pain. I have been prescribed Norco originally up until I started FRP. My new doctor frowns on the narcotics, and has prescribed various meds to deal with the pain and sciatica, Flexeril, Celebrex, and now Gabapentin. None of which works for me as well as the Norco. I just want some relief, I can t stand being in pain all the time. Can you give me any suggestions?
