I also take Naproxin. It doesn't take my pain away completely, but I am far worse without it, so it certainly helps. Do you get any side-effects from it at all Clarity68?

I take Tramadol and Ibrufen if Tramadol alone not taking the pain away, think I am now hooked on Tramadol though and it's not as effective. Is Naproxen stronger?m

They are different types of medication @ILoveSpitz - Tramadol is an opioid painkiller, whereas Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug. I am prescribed both of them, but Naproxen is only prescribed if the source of the pain is inflammation.

Thank you Suncatcher, think a trip to my GP needed as not supposed to take many Ibrufen but at times only the combination of Tramadol and Iboprufen eases pain,

My Zomorph has been increased to 2 twice a day - they are 12 hour slow release ones, but I now feel completely hung over in the mornings and it takes me ages to get my brain in sync with my body!

Hi, I don't know about Zomorph but could you tweak them and take them earlier in the morning and earlier at night?

I know I had to do that with Naproxen which is 12 hour slow release. Not because of a hung over feeling but because of the pain.

I changed the times and it works a bit better now.

Hi Suncatcher

Have you tried tweaking your meds {slow release ones} yet? Did it make any difference if you have
