Wow you certainly have a complex set of problems! I hope you have a clever and sympathetic doc.
> I have really bad reactions to most pain killers and have avoided them most of my life because they do nothing but make me sick. Especially codeine. Tramadol or Tramal here also gave me this reaction.
I had problems puking with buprenorphine initially too (at a pretty low dose - 0.3mg, had to drop to 0.15). BTW depending where you're located, bupe may be something to try. Start low to prevent nausea.
Phenergan and ondansetron (Zofran) are both good anti-nausea meds.
> Since quitting alcohol my GP asked me to try Tramal again, this time around it works and I don't feel sick at all, but the dose of 50mg twice a day wasn't strong enough so she has switched me to 100mg SR. Does anyone have any experiences with the regular formula compared to the SR type? I'd like your feedback.
*shrug* See how it works for *you*.
Have you that found any muscle relaxants, like Soma or Baclofen, help with your back pain? If it's intermittent, not so frequent or constant, and if you can find something like this that does the trick, if might be worth it.
Best of luck to you!
