SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION TAKEN OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

Post by Mahzi »

Hi all
My name is mahzi and I have had two PNE surgeries pls shock wave therapy but nothing seems to have given me relief.
I am taking Lyrica 300mg plus 2 Tramadols per day.
I heard taking pain killers over a long period of time can cause kidney failure and I know I will have to take these drugs life long.
Anybody knows the long time side effects of these drugs?

Mahzi, this site lists the side effects of people during a double-blind study, including side effects that occured in less than 1% of people. http://www.rxlist.com/ultram-side-effec ... center.htm
I've never heard of read of opioids causing kidney failure if taken as prescribed.
Here's an article that describes the possible side effects of long-term opioid use.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
