My rhumatologue has prescribed TRAMADOL for me for my arthritis..i just wanted to know if any of u has used it n if it is bad for UC

I take it.  It is fine for UC.  My GI actually told me to take it rather than vicodin.  I also have arthritis in my spine, so I take tramadol regularly.  Hope this helps!  Hope you feel better soon!

i tried taking tramadol for the general (horrible) belly pain i get after going to the bathroom.  it didnt help with the belly pain, but it didnt affect my UC negatively.  good luck.

Tramadol is on the safe list of meds for Uc. I, unfortunately, can not tolerate Tramadol - even at the lowest dose. It gives me severe stomach pains and makes me throw up, dizzy and shakey but I have allergic reactions to many types of pain meds.

I take tramadol and it does help.It has some nasty side effects if you take more than 4 a day i have found.I get very shaky, hyper and can not sleep.Do not take caffeine along with tramadol or you will be awake for a long time:):) iT also causes intense itching, especially in your legs.

I've taken with no problems for arthritis in my spine. Usually Arthritis Tylenol is fine, but if it's really bad a couple of Tramadol knock it back. If you take too much you may get itchy.

Does tramadol cause really bad constipation in other UC people, or am I just the lucky one?

I don't have any bad effects from it. It doesn't cause constipation either.

Sorry i forgot.Constipation is the most common side effect and it causes c almost after i take my first pill.This is something to keep a very close eye on. I can't believe some people take them with no side effects, they are so lucky.They are a necessary evil though for me.
