Hi, thank you for posting. I read your question very carefully, and I understood your concerns very well. I can say that tramadol is a medicine that relieve severe pains for a short time. Alongside effects of this medicine that you are experiencing, using tramadol for a long time cover you disease and let its development without symptoms. It is necessary for you to make the following tests:1. Urine test.2. Kidney ultrasound for finding if you suffer from kidney stone that can cause pain.3. Blood test. The results of the tests will determine the diagnosis and the needed treatment, so after that you won't need to use tramadol anymore. As for the stomach you should use anti-acid, like omeprazole(Medium) 40 mg a day.*You should contact a urologist. I wish a fast recover.
