NAPROXEN vs TRAMADOL

Going to a small get-together for new years, and the poison ring I bought myself came in JUST in time! Cant wait to discreetly take my mid-party naproxen without having to fish through my purse! Happy new year everyone, may 2026 hurt less than 2025 🥳

I have so much wrong with me. Like it’s genuinely whole body at this point. Back pain, internal tremors, migraines, stomach issues, fatigue, heart palpitations, dysautonomia, rib pain, brain fog, vertigo, muscle inflammation, hands aching, pain that covers my whole body, knees hurting. I could keep

I'm hypermobile and fat and this has caused me to develop osteoarthritis in my hip, normal NSAIDs don't work on me and I'm allergic to naproxen. I'm scared of becoming addicted to opioids because they seem to be the only thing that helps but I've already gotten 2 prescriptions of them and I'm curren

This is more of a rant I guess. I've been struggling with pain for over a decade now, and no matter how bad it gets, I'm given naproxen or acetaminophen. Naproxen doesn't work for me, and it requires high doses of acetaminophen for me to get a small amount of relief. But they are still the only pai

Had a flare up today and usually when this happens I can’t walk. I usually end up in the ER because when I call my doctor I always get “we can’t help you unless you come in” Ma’am you diagnosed me and all I need is a steroid pack and some naproxen to reduce swelling. So when I was finally mobile eno

one more time. I’m going to scream. Anyone with me?

I have chronic pain along with fatigue and other issues and a majority of my pills are for my pain my doctors are trying me on so much before actually giving me anything to relieve the pain. I asked for 500mg naproxen and was given a muscle relaxer to take 3 times a day i’m up to at least 12 pills a

Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately in this sub and in others about people asking for little things that help manage the pain, so I thought I’d compile a list of stuff that helps me and others can tack on what helps them in the comments. I hope someone finds this useful! - **Prescri

I'm stressed out y'all. I'm not going to get into why, I'm not up for a political debate. I'm not sure how so many are remaining cool as cucumbers right now but I'm hanging on by a thread. My fibro symptoms were getting so much better when I changed my diet and supplement, and medication regimen in

I was with my mom recently for her pain in the ER and this sign was posted. I just shook my head.

Massive rant incoming: I'm so tired of these doctors, man. I have been on opiates for a few years. They recently switched me from tramadol to percocet a couple months ago and it gave me my life back. Psychiatrist put me on wellbutrin too which has mad a huge impact. I signed up to start a 9 month tr

Hi all! I originally posted this on this community under my old account. Since today, I was told I was a “disservice to the community” for essentially calling into question the efficacy of Tramadol, I’d like to reshare my contributions to the community. For free. Please. Enjoy.

I had an infected molar pulled out today, and an implant put into place. They literally hammered the implant into my jaw. I told the dentist that people with Fibro often aren't helped much by Ibuprofen (what they usually give) so he gave me 50mg of Tramadol. It didn't help enough. Soon after getting

I (33f) have a mobility parking permit. Today some older guy (60s/70s) approached my window and started yelling at me for using one of the mobility parking spaces at the park, he was really aggressive with the way he was yelling that I’m not disabled, that I’m not allowed to be there, people were st

Hello everyone, I feel as if I'm invading this space as I'm not a sufferer of chronic pain myself, but I have intimate knowledge of the damage it can cause and wanted to tell my wife's story with it and how much I feel for any of you that are in chronic pain. My wife began suffering from intractable

Here is my experience going to a pain doctor for the first time. Spoiler alert: I completely regret going at all, it was my choice to go because I was so hopeful I would get help. ​ * Arrogant and uncaring attitude from the first appointment. I never, not once felt he gave a damn about
