Why is tramadol making me feel worse and relieving no pain whatsoever?

Tramadol makes me feel worse. I was advised Tramadol gives you relief after an hour. Not the case for me. Over the counter drugs give me more relief, however my pain is still severe. I have osteoarthritus in my hip and also my neck. I think my meds will have to be changed, as if a certain med does not work, why take it?

Best to contact your Dr., that's the remedy.

Do not suffer through this! Call doc & tell him tramadol isn't agreeing with you and your can't deal with the pain. Some people like this med, personally, I believe ibuprofen works better than this, with less side affects.

Hi, Tramadol isn't always tolerated well, some people experience headaches & nausea, such as my mum, and need an alternative analgesic. Please speak to your doctor or dentist about a different prescription...

Sounds like u have what is called a dry socket. That is where the blood either didn't clot or was dislodged and u have an exposed nerve. No amount of pain med will help. U need to call u r dentist. He will give u strip of gause soaked n a deading agent that u will pack the socket with and get instant relief... been there done that.

Tramadol is an opiod pain med. Frankly, it doesn't always work well and causes the side effects you are having. To sleep tonight, I'd call the Doc or whoever is taking call for him/her. The dosage or the medicine itself can be changed, but only by the Doc. Don't fool around with this med yourself.
