i need help

i was in a car accident about 1 year ago my lower back has been hurting ever since then. i go to my family doctor and he gives me tramadol for pain i go back and tell him that it gives me nightmars and makes me depressed and ask if he can give me anything else and he sais no because if tramadol does that then vicoden and percocet will do it also but iv taken vicoden and percocet before. so i go to emergence rooms some give me percocet and some say we can't help you you have to talk to your family doctor. what should i do? im going through a LOT of pain all i get is toradol and tramadol or ibuproffian 800mg. none of these help me in my situation. please help me!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO???

lol..sorry nana...i was directing that question to brandon..he doesnt state if any tests have been done to find out whats causing his back to hurt. if nothing has been done..more than drug prescribing needs to be done.

tramadol, norco and vicodin are in the same family..most pain meds are in the vicodin family...so odds are, if you cant take one..you wont be able to take any of the others.

I'm so sorry your having such a hard time with your doctor i to was given tramadol along with percs and i had to stop the tramadol i had the same reaction.
I really think you need a new doctor maybe an ortho, and have an MRI you need to know what exactly is going on in your back and no tramadol in my opinion is worse then percs don't know about the vicodin but you have to find a doctor that will help you sometimes doctors can be so hard to deal with remember there not the one in pain
and i know that the BACK MONSTER can take over your life, Lot's of luck keep me updated.
