Experiences with Tramadol?

Hi. Please tell me about your experiences with Tramadol, i want to ask my rheum about it because i feel like im out of options and i need to try something stronger. Does it help?

I know its an opioid, is the addiction urge really strong? I don't think i understand what addiction feels like so im concerned about taking a lot at once, never getting it again, and being in pain forever.

My friend is on Tramadol so thats how i know of it. Currently on Plaquenil/Meloxicam.
