Pain is common after ankle surgery and usually improves with time. Every patient heals at different rates and has different pain tolerances. Consult with your surgeon on the appropriate post operative pain management plan.
Yes. Tramadol is a pain medication.
Yea but consult your surgeon
Yes, it's a common post-op analgesic. I need to ask if it was prescribed by your surgeon. If not, you should contact him to see if he approves before you start taking it. Tramadol is considered a schedule IV controlled medication and should not be shared.

The answer to your question is yes HOWEVER, depending on the type of surgery. My recommendation at this point would be to contact your surgeon and ask him or her for their post operative directions.

The answer is yet it could help with your pain. That would not be my preference for post operative pain management, a stronger opiates medication would give better pain relief. You could ask your doctor, just explain your situation and pain. Be clear not over dramatic or demanding. Make sure you are following all your post operative directions regarding weight bearing, ice, and elevation, as well as, wearing any CAM walkers or braces as directed.
hi, before taking any medication, I recommend that you ask your surgeon asap.
It’s a semi-narcotic.Check with your surgeon.
This is an important question for you to follow up with your surgeon about.
Your physician should have prescribed you pain medication for the post-operative period. But, yes, tramadol is a narcotic-like medication used for pain control, often after surgery
Tramadol can be an effective temporary pain treatment. I recommend you discuss with your foot and ankle surgeon for your particular case
