Toradol (ketorolac): This is an amazing drug that doesn't have the same problems for which narcotic meds are known.

Toradol (ketorolac): 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): 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): 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): It is the only thing that has helped me for the past 15 years for migraine and tension headaches. Did not feel great side effects.

Toradol (ketorolac): 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): 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): Used with Percocet it was to cure pain associated with having kidney stones. Took pain level down from severe to mild. Well worth it.

Toradol (ketorolac): I could not move my neck. Within 3 minutes I had full range of motion. It did not take all the pain away but reduce it by about 50%, and allowed me to have movement.

Toradol (ketorolac): 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): I was prescribed this medication by a dentist, to alleviate pain from a toothache. It did nothing for me.

Toradol (ketorolac): 3 days ago I had a root canal treatment done. 24 hours later I felt like Mt. St. Helens was going to erupt in my jaw. They gave me Vicodin, no help. Antibiotics, no help. Stepped up to Dilaudid no help. Then Toradol it really took off the edge. With a Dilaudid the pain is very manageable for the first 4 hours of the 6 hour span till next dosage. The other two hours are still quite miserable. Many years ago I had a hysterectomy, they could not give me enough narcotics to control my pain, Demerol, morphine, fentanyl, then they gave me Toradol and it was an answer to prayers, with a narcotic added to it.

Toradol (ketorolac): I was given an injection of Toradol for a severe headache in the ER. I was told I had to have the injection in the posterior as it would be sore the next day. All I can say was it was like having a shot of liquid pain. Was given a prescription for the tablets and they haven't done anything.

Toradol (ketorolac): Taking it for Shingles pain. Seems to work well, but makes me tired and a bit dizzy. Doctor also prescribed an anti-seizure medicine, Gabapentin, so not sure which helped more. The combination seems to work really well for the nerve pain from Shingles. I would ask my Dr. for these if I ever get shingles again. I went from pretty bad pain to it feeling like someone is tickling me, and it's slightly unpleasant.

ketorolac: I have severe cramps every month. The Doctor gave me 10mg of Ketorolac and it worked better than the Vicodin that I have taken. It really took the pain away quickly and for a long period of time! I have no negative side affects. This medicine really works. I would not know what to do without it every month! Hope this feedback helps someone.

Toradol (ketorolac): 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): 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): 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.

Toradol (ketorolac): I was given Toradol for a severe pinched nerve in my back. I was groggy for a full 24 hours but had full range of motion. If given this medication, plan on doing nothing for 24 hours.

Sprix (ketorolac): Worked very quickly on relieving menstrual migraine pain. Following the instructions on how to properly use the spray is a must. I didn't the first time and felt a burning sensation that lasted about 3 minutes. The second time, I cleared my nose, looked down, inserted the tip, and angled it away from the center of my nose. That time I didn't feel anything at all.

Toradol (ketorolac): 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): Great! Fell from tree and crushed my pelvis. Unbelievable pain. Nothing worked. When they gave me Torodal the pain immediately was gone and I was not light headed. I felt no pain at all. BUT...I then developed a skin rash and had to stop the medication. Too..bad, as it was the best.

Toradol (ketorolac): I've had several surgeries and was administered Dilaudid and had horrible side effects during and after use so for my most recent surgery I asked for an alternative and the surgeon gave me Toradol which enabled me to get out of bed with no pain and walk hours after surgery. The use is limited due to risk of liver damage but it is a good alternative to opiates.
