    Does the tramadol make you itchy? I take it for a shoulder injury and it’s driving me crazy! I have some astepro nasal spray that’s disgusting and didn’t help at all. Tried it topically and think it might have helped a bit. Benadryl topical definitely made it a little less irritating.

      Common side effect for tramadol, or any opioid agonist. Idk why, but the itch seems to effect the nose especially - drives some patients crazy.

        The real danger is when you’re stuck on the toilet dying, completely unable to go to the bathroom

          You’re not kidding - you should have a stool softener prescribed alongside it. DO NOT SKIP THAT ONE!!

          Also stay very well hydrated.

          Drug induced constipation is unreal - you feel like you’re shitting a cinder block. Sometimes there really is no pushing it out, and that can lead to an impacted bowel. If it’s been a couple days of not being able to crank that turd out, it’s time to go to the ER!

        It’s hitting my leg. I’m not looking forward to going back to work, where they expect me to wear pants, next week.

          Try compression socks or a wrap - puts and keeps a bit of pressure on the itchy spot. I’d try at home first incase it aggravates it, but a little pressure can help with itch.
