  7. Went the the Dr. Told her since I only have one appt left before we submit to insurance for final approval that anxiety has completely set in..

  14. Hi i am still pre op but i am givem tramadol for my arthritis pain and if u pain is moderate to severe i dont think tramadol will help it does nothing to help with arthritis pain. They give it as a broad spectram pain med i have also had it for tooth aches. The lortab i tjink would work best for moderate to severe but it will limit what u can do like driving.
