For Pain "I was prescribed this for post-submuscular ulnar nerve transposition. I was so annoyed I was prescribed this. I didn't get it until a week out, and the first time I used it, it did nothing. Nothing more than stinging in my sinuses. I gave it another shot, my back was acting up, so I decided to try it. I used it as directed, and it did nothing but make my nose run profusely. I started noticing an absolute monstrosity of sinus headache, which has me in agony. This is billed as Toradol for post-op pain. It didn't even take away mild arthritis pain or hardware pain. This is the *new* alternative? It sucks, and it is in the trash for me at least. It was NOT worth all I went through to get it."

For Pain "Awful nasal pain and caused a horrible headache. Nose burned so bad that my eyes watered, and my nose wouldn’t stop running. Will never use again. Prefer the Toradol injection much more over this! Didn’t even touch my joint pain."

For Pain "I had major ankle surgery. This was one of the medications I was given. You have to keep it refrigerated, but when opened, it can be at room temperature. I want you to know my throat hurt so bad after surgery, too. I had a nerve block done also, so I waited till the next day to use this medication. I read about the burning, but didn't realize it was like someone placing burning coals in your nose. I was like, omg, omg, for about 5 minutes. Then all of a sudden, no pain, not even my throat was hurting anymore. After about 6 hours, I did it again, it did hurt, but not as bad as the first time. The only thing was when it was wearing off, I got a bad headache. Other than that, no problems. For someone in moderate to severe pain, I would recommend."
