      I take tramadol and take PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) with it to reduce my tolerance- as in it allows tramadol to work more effectively at a smaller dose and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Might help you if you can’t get a med change or increase. If you decide to try it do research first since it also acts as a stimulant. The one I take is Comfort Max by Life Extension brand.

        @lupiediva oh aqua therapy sounds nice. I had hoped to get a subdermal type surgically inserted along my spinal cord. Something from Boston Institute.
