Ultram (Brand Name of Tramadol)
is a non-opoid analgesic for the treatment of moderate
to moderately severe pain
Acute Pain
We have all experienced the pain associated with
an injury. Broken bones, stubbed toes and bumped
heads are a part of living. This is known as acute
pain and refers to any pain from a local trauma
or condition. It is the body’s cry of distress
and acts as a warning to tell a person something
is wrong. Ultram can be prescribed in these circumstances,
depending on the severity of the injury.
Chronic Pain
Yet, there often seems to be no underlying reason
for the severe pain that so many suffer almost continuously.
That’s when Ultram, or its generic equivalent
Tramadol is prescribed. It allows those with a debilitating
condition known as chronic pain to function.
If you suffer from chronic pain, you are not alone.
It is estimated nearly one in three Americans have
this condition and it costs the economy some $50
billion per annum in medical expenses and lost income.
Pain is diagnosed as chronic when it has no apparent
basis and has persisted for longer than six months.
Unlike acute pain, which acts as a warning signal
for the body, chronic pain serves no apparent purpose.
Recurring headaches and migraines, arthritis, lingering
back pain and pain that persists long after an injured
area has healed, are all cases of chronic pain.
This condition has reached epidemic proportions
and causes untold misery for millions of people.
Ultram was developed to treat these conditions.
The Physiology of Pain
Pain is the result of pressure, heat, cold, injury,
stress, bodily irritations and disease, stimulating
special sensory nerve endings. But, each individual,
each person, experiences pain differently. This
different perception is the result of a number of
factors. The individual’s emotional health
and well being, overall health, and social, cultural
and ethnic grouping all contribute to how the individual
perceives pain. What we think about pain is also
an important indicator of how we respond. For example,
muscle soreness and pain following exercise is treated
differently from similar pain that persists for
days, or months or longer. Researchers are learning
that pain is a deeply private experience and even
without the evidence of a physical cause, all pain
is real. Many sufferers of chronic pain have suffered
distress when medical practitioners have advised
that there is no basis for the pain so nothing can
be done. This often exacerbates the problem by causing
depression and a further erosion of the patient’s
overall health and increases in muscle tension,
blood pressure and respiration rates. The resulting
musculoskeletal pain combines with and heightens
the existing pain condition, which leads to further
increases in anxiety and depression, leading to
even greater muscular tension. This downward spiral
is very difficult to manage, but everybody needs
to understand that his or her condition is extremely
personal. The patient is the only one who can identify
the levels of pain being experienced.
Additional Therapies
This is not intended as an exhaustive overview
of other things you can do to help manage chronic
pain. If you are on a course of physician-prescribed
Ultram, you will undoubtedly have gained much relief
from the chronic pain that millions of Americans
have to deal with every day. And Ultram is even
more effective when used in conjunction with other
therapies.
Diet
There are two issues to be considered when dealing
with the impact diet can have on chronic pain. Firstly
there is the negative impact of some foods and secondly,
the therapeutic value of other foods and supplements.
For some, food is the entire reason for their pain.
Researchers have established that numerous instances
and types of joint inflammation, and the associated
pain, are caused by allergies to certain foods.
If no other cause for chronic pain has been identified,
food allergy testing is advisable.
Most dieticians generally recommend limiting foods
high in saturated fats, especially red meat, dairy
products and shellfish, as a basis for good nutrition
and overall well-being. That’s especially
true if you suffer from chronic pain. You should
also avoid alcohol, caffeine and partially hydrogenated
oils, as these have been shown to statistically
increase pain levels in sufferers, as have simple
and refined sugars, including fruit juices, sodas
and pastries.
Researchers have found that a diet high in fiber
and non-allergenic complex carbohydrates is therapeutic
for sufferers of chronic pain. Plenty of leafy green
vegetables, especially those with high magnesium
content, are strongly recommended.

About Ultram
Ultram (Brand Name of Tramadol) is a twin action, totally
synthesized analgesic compound, specifically developed
to treat chronic pain by deadening the brain’s
perception and response to pain. It also lowers
the intensity of the pain transmission signals that
pass between nerves. The effects of the medication
begin approximately an hour after ingestion, with
effectiveness, the analgesia, peaking in about three
hours.
