took the tramadol again when they put the implant in. don't know how much tooth pain i'd have been in without it, but as said above, "took the edge off" vs true pain relief. maybe a little bit better than tylenol. and really didn't notice the arthritis stuff to be better on the tramadol than off it. no real negative side effects, but also not much positive effect of the drug either. maybe cause i take LDN? though did space them far (enough) apart or so i think. well, "edge off" better than nothing at all.

first time i took 3 of the 10, second time i took 7 of the 10, both over a few days period of time. so when i get the final work done beginning of january, won't even need a new script, can just use the drugs i already have squirred away.
