It's Friday PC ! 

Hope you're ok . 

U cud mix n match with mogadon

Then you would be "way out man* 

Yeah, I'm alright, thanks. I just have to take tramadol at the mo because it's the only way I can get more than an hour's sleep at a time. I currently have calcific tendonitis, which is basically lumps of calcium on my shoulder tendon. It's bloody painful and it's gonna take up to 8 weeks to get something done about it, but the tramadol mean that I can function to some extent. I was just taken by surprise today because, for some reason, I've been completely out of it. This is after taking it at night for 2 weeks. Very odd!

Too late!

Apologies for my above comments. They where meant to be lighthearted. Hope you feel better soon 

I didn't take your comments any other way, moonie.

 I never been kissed by another bloke before 

Gis one 

I've been working overtime tonight...    in the absence of wine, a tramadol would help me wind down a treat 

on a serious note...   how they gonna sort it Peter?    My friends daughter is a dancer & has had a problem with a muscle on her shoulder...  she needs to have the muscle broken down & reset...  she  has just started a (new I think) treatment on it - sonicwaves or something... 

basically the same as lithotripsy on kidney stones...      sounds like a pneumatic drill being applied to her..    after months of more conventional physio had failed..  there was talk of surgery...    they tried this as a last ditch attempt to avoid surgery...  and my friend reckons its amazing...  

daughter is already on the mend...    only had 2 half hour sessions...    and the physio reckons she will be fit & raring to go for her auditions into dance school in 2 weeks time!   

tis amazing! 

(and a bit of a bargain at £40 a session) 

That is good news indeed 

Peter. I have Tramadol prescibed but it makes me away with the fairies as well. I don't take it. It's like when I have had morphine........I like to be in control, and not controlled with drugs. I could never be a junkie and not in charge of meself, no way. I hope you get your shoulder better soon.

Ouch ,PC! Hope they sort it soon, I hear that's very painful.

I don't tolerate Tramadol at all well.. I got a bit rampagey when they gave me it after my op  Embarrassing ! It might well have a cumulative effect ?

Get healed soon! 

Well they're thinking of doing something called barbotage on it. Basically, they use ultrasound to guide a needle into my shoulder, then poke away with the needle to break down the calcium lumps on the tendon. I'm sure it's more civilised than the way I've described it (I certainly hope it is!), but that's the basic idea.

I think you night well be right. I'll have to have a (sleepless) night without it and see if my body resets.

The first time I took tramadol I thought that Sean Connery had come into my house and we went out into the street and polished the road!!

I will never take them again,never.

I had to have my shoulder manipulated due to calcification ,horrendous procedure.

'Scuse the stubble.

My friend took SEROXAT a few years ago.

She went beserk one night with hallucinations, running around her house, trying to look for 'a man' who wasn't there!!!

hahah! erin !! Shining the shtreet with Sean? Shurely shum mishtake!  ! 

I don't even recall what I was thinking when I took one, it's all a blank, but the nurses were laughing cause I cruised through the morphine in one piece but went a bit loopy on the tramadol . Got no idea what I was up to and was too mortified to ask 

Good one

I agree with you regarding Morphine thats a stroll in the park compared to Tramadol.

Oh, I can't cope with morphine. I had it after the op on my Farmer's and hated it. I couldn't do anything for myself while I was on it - even had to be taken to the loo, which was embarrassing.

I must be well 'ard because tramadol doesn't even touch the sides of my pain 

although when my sister was on a visit recently, she had terrible headache and felt ill so I gave her one and she went for a nap and slept for 8 hours but woke up groggy next morning but the best 8 hours sleep she'd had in years 

You are built of stern stuff Pengy

Yikes sounds very painful Petercat.

I was in hospital with a self administered morphine drip after surgery. I buzzed the nurse to complain nothing was coming out when I pressed the button. Apparently it'll only administer once every five minutes so I was told to stop pressing it so much  

Don't like the sound of Tramadol hallucinations 

Come to think of it, I did get really snappy with my boyfriend yesterday while I was feeling woozy. I got it into my head that he was doing things to annoy me, when he was doing nothing at all. I'll have to watch out for that!
