ketorolac for Pain: More effective than Vicodin for me, for dental pain. While on vacation I had a tooth infection that required a root canal. It started on a Friday night, so I had to deal with the pain for two days. I was given both Vicodin and Ketorolac. The Ketorolac was much more effective, and had no side effects, so I could drive home.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: My doctor prescribed this medication after a very painful lower back sprain. At the recommended dosage this medication did little or nothing for my pain. When I increased the dosage to cure the pain this medication upset my stomach.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: This was given, to me, intravenously in the E.R. for a severe migraine headache. It didn't relieve it immediately, but the pain did subside after sleeping for several hours. The side effects are numerous and I would be cautious of taking this again, for those reasons.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Postoperative Pain: I was so very pleased to have taken this pain reliever following surgery. It was strong enough to help with the pain yet I had none of the nausea and dizziness that I get with most other pain medicines.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I have been in total agony with a pain that felt like I was going to be giving birth to an elephant, plus pains in each side of the abdomen and pain coming out in my lower back and rib pain. The pain made my moods and emotions full of anger, sobbing, outbursts, I felt non-human. Just no control of myself. I tried Dilaudid, and Tylenol 3's nothing worked and while in emergency I was treated with several drugs, the pain remained. Finally Dilaudid with a shot of Toradol and it took the pain, what a relief. I felt human again, I felt focused and I could see life and what was real.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I had a severe toothache that hurt so bad I couldn't even think. Over the years I have had morphine, Lortab, Tylox, you name it; nothing I tried completely killed the pain. Toradol did.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I get shots of this when I have a migraine. The shot hurts, but once the medicine kicks in, you feel a lot better. You probably wouldn't want to drive on it though.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: As a Medic in the US Army, I see a lot of injuries. I give Toradol IM for most severe acute pain. Toradol is one of the best because of it's versatility; dosage, administration techniques, etc. Plus, it's an NSAID, not a narcotic, so there's a lower probability of addiction!

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: Had full kidney stone blockage in ureter. The pain was so severe that neither Morphine or Dilaudid could handle it. When they added Toradol to the Dilaudid it knocked the pain out almost completely. I was told it only works in about 50% of the population. I was very glad that I'm in that 50%.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Postoperative Pain: < 1% of Study patients complained of hallucinations. But I guess I am in that 1%. I had to get off it after the 3rd dosed. Otherwise it was a fantastic drug.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I was given Toradol for tendonitis in my achilles tendon (very painful). It really helped with the pain and made the inflammation go down, however it made me nauseated. I had to quit taking it and move to a narcotic pain killer that did not work on the inflammation.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I had what was found to be an upper back inflammation, with a great deal of pain. It was first thought that I was having a heart attack or an embolism. As morphine-related medicines make me sick (nausea and headache), they gave me Toradol injections while I was in the hospital (for 24 hours) and it knocked the pain better than anything I had taken up to that point. I still had a little pain but it was tolerable, and this medicine didn't make me sick. I would recommend it especially for those who can't take narcotic pain relievers. Don't know about the oral dose as I didn't get that, just injections through an IV.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I was given Toradol via IV in the ER to relieve pain from kidney stone attack and it worked wonders for me! It made the pain go away completely within about 20 minutes and didn't make me feel doped up or sick to my stomach. I also didn't experience any side effects from it.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: I had excruciating pain in my left arm. They gave me a shot of morphine which did not relieve it at all. They then decided to give me Toradol through an IV site. It was the only thing that took the pain away. It's excellent.

ketorolac for Pain: Had a morphine pump after total abdominal hysterectomy with tumors removed as well. After about 6 hours on the morphine, I was nauseated. Took Toradol injections every six hours from then on and was pain free. Much better drug without all of the side efects. I am also a registered nurse and have seen this in my patients as well.

Toradol IM (ketorolac) : As a teenager 34 years ago, I injured my back at work and have experienced chronic problems with excruciating pain ever since. I've had all sorts of prescription pain medicines like Lortab, Percodan, etc. During a recent episode, my General Practitioner gave me Toradol by intramuscular injection. Within 10-15 minutes, severe back pain totally disappeared and without the side effects caused by some oral medicines. I highly recommend Toradol.

Toradol (ketorolac) for Pain: Had complications from rectal surgery resulting in 3 surgeries in as many weeks. Very painful. This med helped inflammation, which was good, but was light on the pain relief -- and kept me awake at night.
