Hi , can anyone help me. I have been on tramadol as apainkiller for a few years now. I need it due to alot of nerve damage in my spine due to a rugby injury. I dont really mind taking this drug as it does help and I can live with the side effects but I have heard that it can be addictive. this now worries me as I have never thought about this before because it was helping my pain but if it is addictive dows anyone know if it is doing more damage to me rather than helping me.

I also have been on Tramadol 200mg for over 3 years with only a couple of gaps where on holiday I was able to go off them for a month or so...I only noticed when coming off the Tramadol each time for a couple of days I would get some nausea until it got out of my system. Apart from that I don,t notice any headaches or any other problems only that if I don,t take it a can,t work mowing lawns...My joints get all stiff and its like what I would imagine being an 80 year old might be like..
