    Hi there,
    I can honestly tell you that i know exactly how you feel.
    I am a Pain Management patient now for OA in every joint except for elbows, I also have DDD and DJD.

    The Ultram/Tramadol that you are taking is probably meant to boost the patch that you are using. Personally I have never had luck with the any patch. I’m surprised that you aren’t on any NASID’s at all, that is very unusual for an Arthritis patient.
    If you don’t have any heart issues, I suggest that you give something in that line a try, along with pain medication. I personally have the best luck with Celebrex. I have tried several others such as Naproxen, Mobic, etc. but Celebrex is the only one that I noticed a difference with.

    Now pain wise, I suggest that when you are deciding what pain medications are best for you, you look at the fact that you will likely be on pain medications of some sort for the rest of your life when you have Chronic Arthritis, and make your choices from there.
    I myself did alot of research, soul searching and praying before deciding what to take. Keep in mind that I have a couple more chronic issues that I am dealing with, but the pain levels of yours can get pretty high. I made the decison to
    take Methadone for my pain. Reasons being that with Methadone I can start on a very low dose and still get pain relief, since it build up i can remain on low doses longer than with something such as Oxycontin. With Methadone I don’t feel "high" all of the time and I can safely take "break through" pain medication if I need it. Any medication at this stage of the game is physically addicting and detoxing will be a big challenge, if I ever would be blessed enough to come off of pain medication. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, so I figure that with everything I’ve been through, I will just have to add detox to the list if need be and also I know that I can detox safely with my doctors assistance if i chose to.

    I hope this helped, because I know you are ready to find something that works well for you. Good luck and I wish you
    the best!! {:D
