tramadol side effects ? Posted: 09-08-08 08:32am


Hi, I have Reumatoid arthritis which was diagnosed some 20 years ago. I live with more chronic pain than ever so now take tramadol daily. I have recently(last 3 months) had daily stomach issues that involves excessive bloating and pain after eating and in last 2 weeks, daily nausea. I have researched this drug as much as my internet searches, local GP/reumatologist allow and found out that some common side effects are in fact, nausea and other intestinal problems. Can anyone assist me by telling me if this drug could be causing the pain in my stomach though? There is a sharp pain that develops after eating in my left upper stomach area and this area becomes like a large bubble of swelling which takes hours to go down (though never fully). I only need a mouthful of food to trigger this reaction. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions. thankyou, regards R

Nausea is the most common side effect of almost all the medicines including tramadol. But it doesen't seem likely to me that such sharp stomach pain after every meal could be related to tramadol. You might have some stomach disorder like gastritis or peptic ulcer. You could consult a gastroenterologist about your stomach problem.
