Do see any problem: I don't think this should be a problem. Since the tramadol is orally administered and does not contain any steroids to "add" to your steroid "load" , you should be OK. Good Luck

Seems fine: Do not see a problem with use of your tramadol to control your symptoms. Hopefully, the epidural steroid injection will help
