By the way, Tramadol is a synthetic (man-made) analgesic (pain reliever). Its exact mechanism of action is unknown but it is very similar to morphine. Like morphine, Tramadol binds to opioid receptors in the brain that are important for transmitting the sensation of pain throughout the body.Tramadol is not a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and does not havethe increased risk of stomach ulceration and internal bleeding that can occur with NSAIDs.

Tramadol is used to relieve moderately severe pain. It also may be used to treat pain caused by surgery and chronic conditions such as cancer or joint pain. Tramadol works by decreasing the brain's perception and response to pain. It also reduces the size or magnitude of the pain signal passed from one nerve to another. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
