Thanks Phillipa. I have a PM doctor but my first surgeon was the one who prescribed the tramadol. There is a legal issue with him so I no longer contact him. I had lumbar fusion surgery beginning of June and then it was discovered that a complication from that surgery, a dural nerve tear, occured. So 3 weeks later I had surgery to repair the tear. I will have epidural injections and possibly nerve ablation early next year - just need to get through the Holidays - but I want to be off the tramadol and am going through some nasty withdrawal but am tapering down and not just stopping.
