I am not sure if you got all of my enitial post. My arms also feel week.

 

Ok... Yes. After I went to the doctor for the symptoms. I reduced the tramidol to 1 in the morning. I take the vicodin as perscribed 500 milligrams 1 a day. I take 1/4 about every 3 hours sometimes more it depends on how intense the feelings are

oh...sensative to meds is the reason for the small dose... i have been takeing 3 tramidol a day about 6 hours apart.

Answer

I'm sorry for the delay:

 

A sudden reduction in the tramadol may have caused or aggravated your symptoms. I would suggest talking to your doctor about these symptoms to see if a more gradual reduction would prevent this problem.
