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

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.
