Ketorolac for Pain "I had come down with a very bad sinus infection that caused me to have a migraine-like headache. It was extremely unbearable. So I had my spouse take me to the emergency room, and the doctor gave me a shot in the rear, and within seconds, I felt immense relief. The next day, the headache came back, and after eight hours of dealing with it, I went back to the ER and got another shot. It was fabulous, and it allowed me the ability to keep down my antibiotic so I could kick the sinus infection. I don't know why they don't make an injection pen for migraine sufferers to keep around. Worked way faster than Imitrex ever did for me in the past."

Ketorolac for Pain "I had a severe migraine going on 3 days. I luckily only suffer from them about once every 5 years or so, but when I do, it's hell - I can't think or speak even remotely normal. I went to the E.R., and they gave me a Toradol IM shot. It relieved ALL of my pain in less than 15 mins, and I suffered ZERO side effects. I gave the doctor on staff a nice big hug!"

Ketorolac for Postoperative Pain "It was used in an IV after a hemorrhoidectomy. I also have epilepsy, for which I am not on medication. After they used the Toradol in the IV, I was able to go home and was virtually pain-free all day and felt great with no complications for my epilepsy. After the Toradol wore off, even with other pain medication, I could see what a difference it made. It is a wonder drug!"

For Postoperative Pain "I just had 4 wisdom teeth removed along with an impacted second molar and was prescribed Toradol. I have been amazed, to say the least. I was expecting to be in horrible pain. I have about 8 stitches, and all I have is sore gums, but that's to be expected. Going on day 2 and haven't had any problems. I have been prescribed several narcotic pain meds that worked for a short period of time and had to take more. Toradol is a miracle drug, and I would definitely recommend it over narcotic pain meds. I haven't had any bad side effects. I don't know if people having hallucinations were taking something else with or prior to Toradol or just adverse side effects."

Ketorolac for Pain "I am prescribed this for horrible migraines. I am on so many meds, I walk around in a fog and still get migraines. My first dose was a literal game changer. Where has this medication been all my life? It started to make a difference within 5 to 10 minutes. The initial burn is brutal, but well worth it."

Ketorolac for Pain "I end up in the ER at least twice a month with migraines so bad that I'm in tears and can't even hold water down because of the nausea from the migraine, and I am given this medicine every time I go in, and it has never worked for me."

Ketorolac for Pain "It’s interesting reading the reviews on here about Toradol. It’s quite effective in reducing pain. Many people on here love to hate the drug since it’s not an opioid. They just want their Dilaudid and morphine, and when they don’t get it, they throw a hissy fit. No wonder why the opioid crisis is so bad. Just take a gander at these Toradol reviews and notice how desperate these people are. It’s sad."

Ketorolac for Pain "Went to the ER with severe flank pain, was given Toradol via my IV, and it worked miracles -- pain went from an 8 to a 2 in about 15 minutes. Found out I had a couple of kidney stones and was prescribed 10 mg tablets to take for several days. They barely worked at all, had to go back a couple of days later with my pain just as bad and be prescribed something else. So, Toradol is GREAT when administered through an IV, not so good in pill form."

Ketorolac for Pain "I injured my back this weekend and endured the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. My lower back muscles cramped up so bad, I had ribs out, sharp pains, etc. all at once. I went from fine to being on the floor in tears. The pain even got so bad that it made me sick twice. I finally went to the hospital yesterday because I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was in agony. After doing tests, they gave me a Toradol injection. I went from extremely heavy breathing and not even being able to talk or sit up from the pain being so bad to feeling back to normal in less than 10 minutes. It was like day and night. It was seriously a miracle and such a relief. I’m so grateful I was able to get this injection. I’m still recovering from my injury, but the inflammation went down so much, and my chiropractor told me he doesn’t expect it to come back and said the Toradol really helped. I’m just so happy with this medication that I had to leave a review. I definitely recommend it!"

Ketorolac for Pain "They always try to give me this when I have a migraine. It has never worked for my pain. They still make me try it before they will even consider giving me anything else. It is no better than 800 mg of Advil or Cambia. And I can take that stuff at home without having to pay a copay! So frustrating that this is the first line of defense for a migraine that won’t go away."

Ketorolac for Pain "Three days ago, I had a root canal treatment done. Twenty-four 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 Dilaudid, the pain is very manageable for the first four hours of the six-hour span till the 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."

Ketorolac for Pain "I have sciatica in both legs and lower back pain. I take Toradol with fentanyl patches and morphine, and the results are very good. Had back surgery 27 years ago...did NOT WORK. I have a terrible time every day... Too bad I can't use Toradol every day! If I could, I would. 20 mg and I'm in a good mood for 4 hours."

Ketorolac for Pain "Had full kidney stone blockage in ureter. The pain was so severe that neither morphine nor 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%."

Ketorolac for Pain "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. I was given a prescription for the tablets, and they haven't done anything."

Ketorolac for Pain "I suffer from chronic migraines. More than 15 days a month of constant pain where more than 4 days are full-on migraines. Toradol is one of the drugs in a cocktail I take through IV all at once. Combined with the other drugs, it is amazing. Alone, Toradol, even if I wait the 1 hour, has not successfully reduced my migraines."

Ketorolac for Pain "They gave me this drug for a pulled muscle in my back. It helped with the pain, but the side effects were not worth it: terrible stomach pain, burning in my stomach, belching, bloating. Three days since the injection, and my stomach is still not back to normal. I will never take this drug again."

Ketorolac for Pain "Recently ended up in the ER due to my first kidney stone. Had 4 mg IV morphine, which made me not particularly care about the pain level but didn't make the pain go away. After they made sure my kidneys were working, they dumped a dose of Toradol into my IV and wow, no pain. The effect lasted a couple of hours, and I was discharged with oral Toradol while waiting for the stone to move. The oral form is a bit less impressive, but still decent. Gotta be careful with this stuff since it can hit your kidneys pretty hard, but it was amazing for the stone."

Ketorolac for Pain "I came into the ER a week and a half ago with gallbladder-related symptoms, was given some Toradol, and this medication completely wiped out my pain. I was also given the same medication after my gallbladder was removed and had good pain relief postoperatively. Better than the narcotic meds, that's for sure!"

Ketorolac for Pain "I took three doses in a row and started getting migraine vision, then the horrible headaches, but that wasn't all. I kept getting the vision coming and going for days until every trace of that medicine was out of my system. My daughter later told me that was the same medicine that she was given, and it gave her terrible headaches too. That will be on my list of allergies from now on."

Ketorolac for Pain "From reading these, I can see everyone is different. For me, on an IV drip, it completely eliminated the pain, gone. Taking pills after the Toradol wore off did nothing. Eventually, threw them all up and went back to the ER."

Ketorolac for Pain "I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) but currently have an infected tooth. (Tooth pain is the worst pain possible, imo.) Pain so bad, beats per minute was 168. Went to the ER, Dr. rx Toradol. Never had it as I am allergic to NSAIDs. (Not even sure if it's okay for me?) A few minutes after it was administered via IV, I started having a severe headache along with pain down my neck. It did absolutely nothing to lower the excruciating tooth pain either. I'm on long-term pain meds for my EDS (10+ years). I assumed my meds weren't working due to the bad infection. Was sent home from the ER in worse pain. Later began having constant severe upper stomach pain after I got home. The horrible effects lasted for hours. Finally took one of my normal pain meds in the evening, and it alleviated the headache & stomach pain, plus also somehow still worked 1000 times better for my tooth than Toradol. Doctors can do better, but they are scared."

Ketorolac for Pain "Toradol has literally been a lifesaver! I have cervical dystonia, which gives me really bad migraines. Toradol usually will take my entire migraine away, and if it doesn't, it makes it manageable. It doesn't make me sick to my stomach, and it doesn't make me too drowsy, I'm able to drive home afterwards. The only bad thing about it is that I usually have pain around the injection site that lasts for a long while, but it hardly compares to the pain of the headache I had before it!"

Ketorolac for Pain "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."

Ketorolac for Postoperative Pain "I had rotator cuff and bone spur surgery a week ago. At first, they gave me hydrocodone 750, and I was still in pain, so they changed me to Toradol 10 mg, and I still have no relief. I have been in unrelenting pain for 7 days, and I can't believe no one can help me!"

Ketorolac for Pain "I fractured my L1 vertebra and got a Toradol injection at the urgent care. The doctor then gave me a three-day supply of pills of Toradol 10 mg three times a day. It really did nothing to relieve my pain. I’m going to the orthopedic spine doctor tomorrow, and hopefully he can prescribe something that will relieve the pain until the fracture heals."
