Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I've tried the tramadol and ultracet/er the strongest made, and after a few times of pain relief, I got nothing but a killer headache. They are the worst in my opinion for me, now they don't work no matter how long it's been since I have taken them, all I get is the headache. This happens to me, so don't get me wrong I'm not saying not to take them if they work for anyone. geo headaches and ant- inflammatories Howdee all, Does anyone here who suffers from regular headaches suspect that the anti-inflammatory he or she is taking is the cause?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks all. I don't know the cause of these headaches, the ultram actually seems to help. My cervical spine is filled with flattened discs, spondylosis and stenosis. I just feel so lousy all day everyday anymore. The lower neck pain and tingnling in my right arm and hand. I've lost about 15 pounds over the last 3 months from the stress I guess. I have to go a week without the antiinflammatories before I have a medial branch block but can't imagine skipping the ultram at the same time. Maybe I can try..

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ivan, With medications like Tramadol, it is best to taper.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ultram has a side effect of HA " S. Ultram is not a controlled substance because there is supposed to be no physical addiction. It is not a narcotic in the typical sense of narcotics....that's why its not controlled. As far as tylenol and NSAIDS contained in those drugs.these are the things that need to be eliminated immediately..and yes you will go thru a week of H..but it needs to end sometime. Ivan.your brain does not know why you were taking the drug even if it is for HA's rather then for arthritis you can still get CDH. I can not take Tylenol because that happens. I am assuming that ultracet/ultram was prescribed PRN as needed..am I incorrect?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hiya Deb, The ultram was prescribed as needed every six hours. The ani inflammatory is Naprelan 2 375 mil. once a day. I'm not sure these are the culprits. The headaches began during chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine. After a week of that the chiro stopped adjusting my neck. All my docs agreed that I should keep my vertebrae moving (the two md's, one a spine doc are chiro friendly and go themselves). I went to a neurlogist for a head mri and mra and all was fine. I take meds for cholesterol, gerd and for hypertension i take hctz. The headaches start in the back of the neck and head go around the front and up a little. Goggling this toild me its a " cervogenic headache " from th eoccipital nerves around c2. Neck and back pain coupled with these headaches are just too much for me. I complain to the docs but don't seem to get anywhere. I'm having a medial block soon, perhaps if its strating from the muscles in my neck it will help.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Your degenerative cervical disks and stenosis are likly the cause.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ultram aka Tramadol does not have Tylenol, only the Ultracet does, It is ultram with Tylenol. Ultram works on the opiate receptors in your brain to create pain relief, because of this, It does create withdrawls and physical dependancy, though not usually as strong as an opiate. Ultram IS a narcotic, but it is not a controlled substance because it is not an OPIATE. It is a synthetic narcotic created in a lab. The great thing about Tramadol is that is can work like an opiate without the strong tolerance and dependance issues. I have been taking the same dose of Tramadol for 5 years now and it still works, but if I taper down, I get chills and sweaty and achy, like I'm getting the flu. You do have to taper your dose before coming off of it. Especially as taking Tramadol can lower your seizure threshold, which in people who do not suffer from seizures or take many other meds that lower the seizure threshold, is not generally a cause for concern. Abruptly coming off the med would certainly be cause for concern. --- headaches and ant- inflammatories Howdee all, Does anyone here who suffers from regular headaches suspect that the anti-inflammatory he or she is taking is the cause?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Your right Ultram is NOT SUPPOSED to be physically addictive. But, it is. Found that out a number of years ago, the hard way. I was taking it on a regular basis for Fibromyalgia pain. Ran out by accident and it just happened to be over a long weekend. Ended up having all the same withdrawal symptoms you would have if you were a freaking drug addict. Couldn't sleep, couldn't be still felt like hammered crap. After my lovely little withdrawal scenario I discussed it in detail with my new pain doc. Turns out for years doctors thought Ultram/Tramadol was not addictive, which is why all sorts of doctors were taking it for pain. Non-narcotic, right? They were WRONG!!!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I would really look into the massage and trigger point therapy. I would do the massage weekly for a month, then bi-weekly for another month then once a month thereafter. You may get great relief from this. Do a little research on trigger point therapy. Many of us experience tremendous pain due to the presence of trigger points in our bodies. We can learn to tackle them at home too. I have a great book called " The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook " that helped me eradicate the trigger points in my back after surgery. They were causing horrible spasms up my spine and headaches. Trigger points in the neck cause horrible migraines and headaches. Now when they flare up, I can nab them early. --- headaches and ant- inflammatories Howdee all, Does anyone here who suffers from regular headaches suspect that the anti-inflammatory he or she is taking is the cause?

You get them by taking those types of drugs Deb RN From: spinedisorderssuppo rtgroup@gro ups.com [mailto:spinedisord erssuppo rtgroup@gro ups.com] On Behalf Of Ivan Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7:35 PM spinedisorderssuppo rtgroup@gro ups.com Subject: headaches and ant- inflammatories Howdee all, Does anyone here who suffers from regular headaches suspect that the anti-inflammatory he or she is taking is the cause? Or from continual use of ultarcet/tramadol?
