Hi,
My Name is Shirani and i have JCA, Juvenile Chronic Arthritis, but also osteoarthritis. I have had it since I was 3 and I am now 32. I have it quite badly and am on a lot of medication. I am currently 4 and a half weeks pregnant. I too, am taking tramadol and feel funny about taking it. The specialist obstetrician i have been seeing said it would be better to take panadeine forte if I could but if I had to take it I had to. Your post made me feel better as not that much goes into the placenta. It is nice to know there are other women out there in the same situation as me. I am making an appointment to see the doctor again soon so I'll ask about taking it again. Its tricky though as I am also on other medication and it might be better to reduce that instead. Is anyone taking cortisone?
Shirani
