Ketorolac for Pain "Have biliary dyskinesia - gallbladder needs to come out (scheduled in 2 weeks). Went to the ER 3 times in 2 months for debilitating pain from it, vomiting, and they gave me Toradol in my IV - did nothing! ER admitted me, in the hospital, they gave me Toradol - did nothing at all. Checked myself out as I could treat my pain at home better than giving me this Toradol! When real people have proven reasons for pain, these doctors won’t give anything stronger due to drug seekers, leaving us with documented reasons for serious pain - unbelievable! Can’t wait for my surgery in 2 weeks to have my gallbladder removed! Disappointed in medical people due to this!"

Ketorolac for Pain "As most have stated, this burns terribly. However, I do not care! I would take worse pain if it's something that will elevate my migraines. I am on a whole host of meds, and I hate medication. I prefer natural means, however, nothing worked, so here I am. I will do anything to rid myself of these migraines. I have had nerve blocks and a few times gone to the ER for a 'migraine cocktail.' This medication has replaced that need. When living with a violent migraine for 21 days, I would try anything! Having this on hand eliminates that possibility. This does work! Just push through the initial nose burn and move on. As stated, I do not like medication, I have resigned myself to that not being the case, but I do push my limits. I only use this as a last resort and only after a few days of trying everything else. I hope my rant encourages you to stick through the nose pain. If you do... a clear and quiet mind with no pain, puking, loss of vision, it legit gives you your life back within a few minutes."

Ketorolac for Pain "I was in the middle of passing a kidney stone. I was admitted to the ER with severe pain in the right side, tremors, cold sweats, nausea, vomiting, a feeling of a full bladder and a need to urinate but inability to urinate. I was given IV Toradol, and the pain subsided within a minute. I was even able to get some shut-eye on and off for maybe an hour. Of the IV drugs I have received, this one had me the most clear-headed, functional, aware. It staved off the pain for about 3-4 hours, after which I asked for another injection before being released from the ER, as the pain was returning with the nausea. NOTE: I have been having severe (2 or 3 at rest, 7-9 in the wrong position) right leg pain for a few months. Toradol ineffective. Nerve pain?"

For Postoperative Pain "Was prescribed this after wisdom teeth removal surgery. Prescribed for a week and took it every 6 hours. So effective that I felt no pain at all while taking it and without any side effects. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen was also prescribed for breakthrough pain, however, hydrocodone/acetaminophen caused dizziness and vomiting for me so severe after only taking 1 pill that I stopped immediately. Ketorolac is a much better and effective option for me personally."

Ketorolac for Pain "Toradol is the medicine they want to use for my kidney stones and chronic migraines. It is not effective for either. I've suffered from over half the month from chronic migraines since 2007 and am now on disability. When the migraines were so bad, I'd go to the ER or to my neurologist during office hours. Received Toradol usually IM. Even after 2 hours, no relief. Now it seems to be the go-to for kidney stones. Given to me at the ER. Writhing in pain, vomiting, and sweating. No relief. Had to give me other meds. I'm glad this works for some people. Our bodies are different. Was diagnosed with MS in 2011. My body now interprets pain differently than a normal person, due to the nerve damage."

Ketorolac for Pain "Went to my primary care with extreme, crippling menstrual pain (I have cysts and endometriosis). Nurse injected in my arm, I am routinely used to injections, and I've never felt such pain from a needle in my life. My entire arm went numb, I couldn't feel my hand. Then, for a long while afterward, I kept getting shockwaves up and down my arm, like bees stinging inside of my nerves. Not sure if this was the drug or malpractice? Minutes later, I was vomiting profusely in the office wastebasket. My arm then developed a large, red circular rash. Apparently, this is not a normal reaction. Once I was home, I also got a hideous migraine as a side effect. The drug did relieve my cramps and knocked me out for a good several hours, but it wasn't worth the headache or the pain in my arm. Never again."

Ketorolac for Pain "Received IM injection. No relief of pain. Caused pain, paresthesia, hyperesthesia, and numbness from hip injection site to lateral knee. This persists 6 weeks later. Experienced nausea and violent vomiting for 12 hours as well. I will not take this again."

Ketorolac for Pain "The burning in the nose was uncomfortable, but bearable when you need pain relief. I have severe low back pain. After the first dose, I became very nauseous. After the second dose, even more nauseous. It was somewhat effective for my pain. However, about 4 hours of severe nausea, I began vomiting too. Not the drug for me."
