It doesn't sound like you are abusing the meds to me. The surgeon wants you o see a pain specialist so that the burden of giving you pain meds is on that doctor and not him. That is all that means. The pain specialist probably won't have a problem with the Ultram since it isn't considered a Narcotic. The Narco I know nothing about .... But surely someone else...
Ultram an alternative to Hydrocodone?

No! Please. Don't take Tramadol or Ultram. It's a synethic opiate with a side dish of very old antidepressant in it. Which is why it makes some people suididal. It's two synethic drugs together. I'm on Day 49 off it and it was harder for me to get off this than anything I have used ever, Including Benzos. Sorry it isn't what the Doctors say it is. Tram...

The Tramadol is probably what is making you want to die. It's a horrible withdrawal. I will say that although I don't have your condition, I have two herniated discs and nerve damage into my right leg. I am now 47 days off Tramadol. It doesn't hurt. My back has hurt since 2000. The last five years, I took Tramadol, steadily. Withdrawal is the worst for 4 days...

Hulsey82, I was on it for 5 years, not as high a dose, but it's about 4 days of tough withdrawal. Like the worst flu you have ever had. The Thomas (not Thompson) Detox is called The Thomas Recipe here. You can find it on the right hand lower side, along with vitaman and amino acids. I have been off for 44 days. There's alot of info, details and suggesti...
