Pain is the one of the worst parts of the human experience. As Will Rogers said, "Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment." It can range from a minor annoyance to an all consuming suffering. Pain is important because it tells you if something is wrong with your body. However, it is not necessary for you to be in pain at all times!

Fortunately, pain can often be relieved with medication. Over the counter medications include Aspirin, Acetaminophen (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and others. These medicines relieve a variety of pains and suffice for most people. For others, something stronger is needed. In these cases, it is generally advisable to visit a physician and get a prescription pain reliever. You may be prescribed opioids (morphine, oxycodone, codeine). These are very powerful pain killers, but they carry a significant risk of inducing dependency. This risk of addiction is the primary reason these substances are tightly controlled.

So what is the strongest pain reliever you can buy without a visit to the doctor? It's called Tramadol. Tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It binds to the same receptors in the nervous system as opioids, but has a significantly lower risk of dependency. It is the closest drug to an opioid you can buy without being an opioid. Actually, you need a prescription to buy this medication legally.

Fortunately, you can get a prescription for this medication without a doctor's visit by purchasing from online pharmacies. You should only purchase from a US pharmacy where a licensed physician in the United States writes you a legal prescription and a US pharmacy fills the order with FDA approved medication. If you do this, your medicine will be top quality and will be legal. If you buy from an out of country source, you will be illegally importing drugs.

While highly effective as a pain reliever, Tramadol does have potential side effects. The most common of these are nausea, vomiting, sweating and constipation. If taken in large quantities, Tramadol can induce seizures. Still, millions of patients use this medication safely- follow the directions of your prescription and you should be fine.

All told, Tramadol is a very popular medication. It's one of the top 3 sellers among online pharmacies. It's even an over the counter medication in some countries. Most important for you, it is better at relieving pain than any of the over the counter medicines in the United States. If you're in pain, you might consider this medication.
