Talk to your doctor: You really need to talk to your doctor. Pain specialists may be able to decrease your need for so much tramadol. There are alternatives to medications that may help if you are not a candidate for discectomy. See your doctor for two main reasons. First the need for chronic medication to relieve pain. Second if there are options for your heniated disc.
