I already commented below, but saw the dilaudid and tramadol comments, so I had to say something.

That dilaudid is some good stuff. I was on a dilaudid pump for three days after abdominal surgery. I was quite dismayed to find out how excruciating my pain was after they took me off of it. At least they sent me home with Percocet. Tramadol? Seriously, they might as well have sent you home with children's aspirin. I sure hope it works better for you than me! I've got a bottle of it sitting here going to waste.
