Tramadol belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics. I think you should seriously consider listening to the advice of a physician.I'm 78 and have had one knee replacement and am close to needing the second one. I just don't want to deal with the down time and getting the second surgery scheduled. The best pain med I have used is Tramadol, but my old Dr retired and the new one doesn't want to prescribe it for me. All he will say is take more Tylenol. I told him Tylenol doesn't do anything for me pain wise and if I take as much as he wants me to it upsets my stomach. He told me it can't upset my stomach because it is processed by the liver. Uh, how does it get to the liver? I think through my stomach, right?
My doctor told me too much Tylenol can upset my stomach and damage my liver. She said to take no more than 1 every 6 to 8 hours. She has me taking Aleve with Tramadol as needed. I hate taking medicine so I only take it when either I disc golf or the pain is unbearable, even though in in constant pain.Tramadol belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics.

Mobic has been around for a long time. I have seen it ordered and used to pretty good success for arthritis. It is a NSAID and comes with the usual cautions. It is hard on the stomach and come with the usual precautions. Take with food, take with a full glass of water..... Alcohol use can exacerbate stomach issues. You should, of course, discuss this with your primary care physician. I can't advise listening the the disc golfer guy on social media, lol.Any free advice for meloxicam at 15 mg doses?
Knee doctor prescribed and my primary signed off as well. I've read up a bit on it as well.

How much turmeric do you take? I've been thinking about upping my daily dose.I'm 70 and pretty much pain free. Switching to a low carb diet four years ago eliminated most of my pain and taking turmeric every day keeps inflammation in check. I play 4-5 times a week and also ride a bike about the same (1.5 hrs 4-5 times a week). I'll get a little sore after a two round tournament, but the next day I'm fine.
Thank you gentlemen for this conversation. I hadn't heard of this. Went to my spice cabinet and found an unopened bottle of turmeric only past its date by a year (which is young for spices!). Johns Hopkins has a nice article about it. Looks like it might take awhile for the effects to occur? Also, taking it with black pepper helps the active ingredient in turmeric get to where it needs to go. Going to look seriously into this.How much turmeric do you take?
