Some time ago someone asked about a non-narcotic pain killer for muscular type pain. I think I found one, Ultram, which my Pain Center doctor calls only "very slightly" addicting. For example, I awake with back pain at 6:00, take one and wake up again at 7:30 - the pain's gone for 3-4 more hours. You can take one [50mg] every 4 hours. I take one every 6. if anyone knows anything to the contrary about Ultram's narcotic properties, I would appreciate hearing about it Thanks! B.
