Dr. James Tobin answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Stronger med: Hydrocodone is stronger than tramadol and may control your pain better. You may have more side effects, such as constipation. You also have more risk of dependence and addiction. Hydrocodone is not meant as a long term treatment.
