Is It Good To Take Tramadol Instead Of Vicodin For Arthritis?
I suffer from occasional flareups of arthritis-like symptoms as well as back pain. (Am 69 years old - these symptoms have been a factor for about thirty.) Have occasionally used Vicodin as treatment. It works, but I worry about some of the possible side-effects. How about Tramadol as a substitute? email: YYYY@YYYY

No tramadol is addictive drug. You cannot take this on regular basis. It is reserved for severe pain only.. It has lots of side effects. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
