tramadol for 2 days

I was off tramadol almost 2 months. I was in such pain and caved in and used it for 2 days. It didn't really help.

I have serious pain, muscle and bone. I was given ms contin but that doesn't relieve the bone pain and have an appointment this week.

My question was, do you think I need to worry about using a drug for 2 days as far as w/ds?

Thanks.

Hi Dylan,

A good day? Great news. Several things could have happened. One obviously is that you just plan had a good day for no reason at all. Those are called a "gift horse" and we don't question those. You know the old saying, "You never look a gift horse in the mouth." And in case you never heard that it simply means means don't over-analyze a favor or gift that has been given to you.

If you are still taking medication could have finally reached a therapuetic level thus you now have pain control.

If you have remained off all medications than your system may finally be cleaned out and what you were feeling was mostly withdrawal symptoms.

At any rate I hope your pain free days continue.
Peace, Tuck

This is so mysterious, after a few horrible weeks, today, I had to get a lot of paperwork done and was on my feet for a good part of the day and guess what? My legs felt better than they did in a super long time.  Can't understand it.

Hi, Thanks. No. I go tomorrow. Thanks for caring and writing. I had so much pain yesterday. I wish I knew the best doctors. There is definitely something wrong to cause this much pain and I don't know what will take care of it. I was doing fairly well for awhile too.

I think so too. I didn't take any since and don't plan to.

Peace to u also.

Hi Dylan,

I think it takes longer than 2 days to develop a build up and than withdrawal symptoms. I think you will be fine.

Best wishes with your physician appointment. I hope you are able to find something that helps relieve the pain. Bone pain can be difficult to treat. I hope you will keep us posted.  

Peace and take care,
Tuck
