Have been taking Tramadol for chronic pain in bag and following complications from surgery.
I suddenly find the Doctors Practice are no longer allowing patients to have Tramadol on a regular basis.
I take 4 a day.
Ifni write in a letter stating why I need to take these tablets they will let me have 100.
A month trouble is I take 4 a day and that's only giving me cover for 25 days I have explained this so up to 6 days a month I gave no pain relief at all.
There were issues with over prescribing for one patient with disastrous outcome.
I continue to explain I am very sensible wasn't even prescribed these by a GP but a pain specialist.
I now every 20th of the month have to write a letter and they may or may not let me have some Tramadol.
This request has to go in to allow 3 working days then put it into the chemist to dispense.
I was offered co- codamol but they caused me to vomit.
No good didn't touch the pain. I seem to b caught up in someone else's mess and I am the one who has to suffer for it I shall be forced to buy Tramadol on line no amount of monthly begging letters will get them reinstated.
"Unfair and uncaring."
