I'm glad you told me I could become addicted to Ultram. My doctor prescribed it 3 times a day.

I had to take ibuprofen too - Ultram did absolutely nothing for me. Once in a while I could take a percocet or two but the doc was pretty careful because of my past history, so I only got them for real emergencies.
I think your doc should write you something better than Ultram...you couldn't use it all the time or you'd become addicted to it as I once was however once in a while it sure could give you some relief.
Tylenol doesn't work for me either. I try to limit my ibuprofen intake to one dose a day too. One thing of learned through 12 weeks of treatment the aches can come at any time. Very strange last week I couldn't straighten my left leg completely. I hope the Ultram helps you.
I take ibuprofen with food and also the ultram at the same time, works great
