Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 For people's info, my wife who had THR in April, 2008, took Tramadol for pain versus oxycontin or equivalent. Tramadol is non-habit forming. Tramadol was recommended by our stepdaughter while the OS was visiting my wife after surgery and offered the option. Throughout my wife's recovery my wife never had to escalate to oxycontin or equal and so avoided the issues with that medication. People may consider this option to stay away from the nasty effects of oxycontin; she did have to take stool softeners with Tramadol as is often required of any pain med. mY wife is scheduled for bilateral TKR on 2/22 and plans on trying to get through PT with Tramadol, if possible.
