Suffering from costochondritis pain and concerned about the side effects of oxycodone. would tramadol be a safer alternative?

Costochondritis: In my humble opinion no. Tramadol is a combo effect drug. Its a mild synthetic narc and is also an SSRI drug. A significant # of people can have issues with this and its often misdiagnosed by clinicians. Are you sore at a biopsy site? See a pain specialist. You might benefit from a block.
