What Causes Constipation While On Tramadol?
June 15: My husband was pulling up a small boat on a dock. He slipped and sat really hard on his buttocks. We saw his doctor Monday. He gave him Tramadol HCL 50 mg. He said he didn t feel anything , so sent him home. He has not had a bowel movement since Saturday. Called the doctor and he said to pick up Citric Magnesium. He took the bottle and required water last night. Nothing but gas passed. Should we go to emergency at this time, or continue the treatment?
