I’m feeling pretty comfortable with missing the evening tramadol now. I get times when I have increased pain, but I had that on the higher tramadol as well and I don’t think that’s any worse. It does seem to be having a bit of a positive effect on my bowels as well. I was tempted to stop the morning dose at the weekend but it might be a bit soon still.
Thursday was a low point. I was perhaps feeling a bit more wobbly than normal, but had no particular concerns about going down stairs, but got to the second step down and suddenly my legs went (might’ve been just one, I’m not sure) and I fell. Thankfully I fell backwards and ended up just sprawled on the landing and seemingly had no more than a bit ore back pain for a day or so.
