I've had lower back pain (muscle) for about a month now. I've paid for 3 office visits in that amount of time and the only real relief I've gotten was from taking Tramadol. The doctor gave me a one-time prescription of that, but when I was finished said she'd like me to see another dr. So I did that and that dr. gave me some exercises to do and some samples of Skelaxin. I have to say that I didn't notice the Skelaxin doing anything for my pain, but the exercises seemed to help a little and I began to think my back was just about back to normal. However, I went snowmobiling this last weekend and I think I must've pulled that muscle again, trying to get my snowmobile unstuck! I've missed some of work already this week because of the pain and discomfort, and CANNOT afford it, so I'd like to ask my dr. for another prescription of Tramadol — BUT I don't want to sound like an addict or anything! How should I go about doing this? I don't know how assertive I can/should be.
