For Pain "I had gotten addicted to Lortab and asked my doctor to take me off it because I just hated not being in control of a medicine. I have fibromyalgia, so I needed something that would help. After different meds that did not work, he gave me a shot of Toradol. I was amazed when it took effect! For the first time in a long time, my whole body felt pain-free. You would think miracle medicine, right? Well, it was, however, the side effects of constipation and upset stomach, bloating, heartburn, and not urinating enough scared me (he also gave me the Toradol pills). I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, and I hate that I will have to be taken off this med. If you have great relief with no side effects, it is great!"

For Pain "I have a herniated L5, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis. When this flares up, I can barely walk! I will go to the ER and get the Toradol shot, and within 24 hours, I am good, and it lasts me for at least 3 months!"

For Postoperative Pain "Where has this drug been my entire life? I had rectal surgery and used Toradol for the post-op pain. Wonderful! It got rid of the pain and had no narcotic effect. I was clear-headed and could function. No side effects for me."

For Pain "I have about 8-10 migraines a month that leave me hugging the toilet and/or hiding in the dark closet with a pile of blankets. Today was the first time they tried anything other than Excedrin Migraine. Toradol! A shot... Oh my, for the first time since 2008 I don't have pain in my back and neck. She said it would not make me tired, but I just spent a nice 4-hour nap in zero pain. Yes, the injection had a mild heat-like pain for a few minutes. But to feel like this is pretty much awesome!"

For Pain "I was dealing with a migraine of all migraines. By the third day straight, I could not even brush my hair due to the sensitivity of my scalp. My physician gave me the shot in my bum, and within 5 minutes, my ears, eyes, and temples were already losing pressure. By an hour, pain-free and have been for the past 3 days."

For Pain "I had a very bad migraine today, and the butalbital only took away the aura and a small amount of the pain. I drove in pain 20 minutes to UW Health Immediate Care, which was the closest clinic. The doctor saw me and decided to give me a shot of Toradol. I received the shot in the left hip. It hurt for a minute or two, but my migraine was much better in 15 minutes, had no side effects, and vitals post-shot were fine. This is great in emergency situations."

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 its versatility; dosage, administration techniques, etc. Plus, it's an NSAID, not a narcotic, so there's a lower probability of addiction!"

For Pain "I had an infection that caused irritation to my trigeminal nerve in my face. I had intense and constant pain on the right side of my face, from my lower eyelid to my bottom jaw, which lasted about 2 weeks. It was worse than childbirth, which I had done without pain relief! At least labor pains end eventually. I was given Tylenol #3s at first, which maybe lowered the pain from a 9/10 to an 8.5 and made me nauseated on top of everything else. Eventually, I cracked, I hadn't slept in days, and I went back to the doctor in tears. I was then prescribed Toradol, and within an hour, my pain was at a 2/10! That was the first night I actually slept in two weeks. It was a lifesaver, I could not believe the difference it made for me."

For Pain "I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees, anti-inflammatories work a little. I was in so much pain I went to the ER. They gave me a shot of Toradol, and it was a miracle. Only downfall was initial burning from the shot, but well worth the relief."

For Pain "I've had migraines for years. As you all know, they come and go. I've taken the Imitrex shot and orally, Zomig, Maxalt, among others. My family practitioner prescribes me Flexeril on top of Maxalt. Today, though, I ran out and had to go to a clinic, and even though I fear needles, I asked for the shot. This was a migraine I knew I was no match for, as my pain threshold peaked a number of times. Immediate burning in my bottom and leg, but it did work well. I wish this were able to be prescribed."

For Postoperative Pain "They gave me Toradol for an endometrial ablation. I’m in agony. It’s absolutely useless. When they told me that’s the drug I would be given, I knew I would be in pain. We have pain medications for these procedures. Legitimate pain treatments. Stop scaring doctors out of using the appropriate meds for the situation. It’s obscene that this country is obsessed with not prescribing or administering opioids for their intended uses."

For Pain "I was given Toradol via IV in the ER to relieve pain from a 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."

For Pain "I get the shot once in a while in conjunction with a steroid shot in my hips for possible sciatic/back pain. The burning and increased pain afterward is well worth having a day or two of some kind of relief. Doesn't help me all the way and takes a while to fully work for me, but I'll take that over my daily pain any day."

For Pain "After going to the dentist and starting on my meds from a root canal, I experienced severe pain. I was taking Tylenol 3 and Motrin with an antibiotic and could not bear the pain any longer. Went to ER and the doc gave me a shot of Toradol, and it was able to settle the pain till I see the dentist in the morning. A miracle pain medicine."

For Pain "I have the most painful 'girl issues' that you could imagine. I would have to go to the ER to get a shot of a narcotic for the pain. NOTHING ELSE helped, until the best doctor in the world prescribed Toradol. It is the only non-narcotic to help with the cramps."

For Pain "Went to pick up a large garbage bag full of glass bottles. The bag was probably around 50-60 lbs, and I carried it with one hand while I maneuvered around my house with it. Walked to my car and up my stairs, and boom!! Back gave out. Worst pain I have felt since fracturing my hand. Did the traditional icing, laying down, and taking some leftover opioids so that I could walk to the bathroom and kitchen. Three days, no change, back still slanted from the hip to the chest, so I decided to go to urgent care. They gave me the shot of Toradol, and my pain went from 10 while standing/walking to a 3. Combined that with a muscle relaxer, my pain level is 1 right now because of random nerves shooting. I recommend getting this shot. I’m a 27-year-old male."

For Pain "I was on day 2 of a doozy of a migraine and ended up at urgent care. I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which causes pretty much constant head pain, but had been non-symptomatic for over a year. Up until today, I would maybe get 1 migraine a month, and taking Excedrin migraine would stop it in its tracks. This time, it did nothing. My migraine was still going strong at 36 hours. A shot of Toradol in one hip and Imitrex in the other, and I feel like a different person! Better within the hour! I would give it a ten, but as others have mentioned, it was pretty darn painful when injected! Definitely a burning/stinging sensation for about 20 minutes. This was my first experience with both of these medicines, but I am amazed!"

For Pain "It is the ONLY reason I am able to sit at this computer and type right now. Two weeks ago, I got a very, very bad virus, was dehydrated, and had my first migraine at 32 years old. I can't even begin to tell you the pain I have felt over the past two weeks with it not letting up AT ALL. I have had blood work, a spinal tap, a CT scan, an MRI, and numerous pain meds while I was in the hospital three different times over the past two weeks. My doctor's office gave me a shot of this four days ago, and it was the ONLY relief I had felt. My doctor gave me the oral form this past Friday, and my headache is starting to break. This may not work for everyone, but for me, it has literally been a miracle! I wish I could take it more than five days, but hopefully my migraine will be gone!!"

For Pain "I take this for migraine pain relief - it works well taking away what I call the 'bad feeling' of having a migraine. That awful painful feeling allows it to be tolerable as just a headache. In combination with my migraine medicine, it will take the whole headache, and I don't usually have a rebound headache afterward."

For Postoperative Pain "I was given Toradol following an appendectomy (via my IV) and was impressed with how well it worked. It did make me sleepy, but it also helped my stress-induced migraine! Will have to discuss this option with my neurologist."

For Pain "This drug had never, not once, worked to decrease pain for me. Doctors always want to give it rather than an opioid, and I’m fine with that part. I don’t need an opioid, I just want the pain gone however it can get gone. But Toradol never, ever works for me."

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!"

For Pain "I pulled the stent from my ureter after having a stone removed, and within minutes, I was in severe pain. After 2 hours of worsening pain, I drove to the urologist's office and begged for help to relieve the enormous treachery I was enduring. They gave me a shot to my hip, and within minutes, the pain level dropped from 9 to a 5. The relief was a Godsend. The anti-inflammatory in the drug opened the ureter and allowed blood clots and other debris to filter into the bladder. I was then prescribed Toradol in pill form. This got me through the horrific ordeal I had experienced."

For Pain "I have fibromyalgia and severe pain. This works for a while, but the pain does come back. But for those hardcore flare-ups, it sure took the edge off the pain and made me functional again. Also, had a herniated disc in my back a few years ago, and it took that pain away almost instantly. I say yes to Toradol."

For Pain "I suffer from a specific family of migraines where light, sound, smells don't bother me. I just always have a baseline headache that spikes. We found that Topamax helps keep the baseline normal, but I'll get a spike where I'll have to take my Treximet, a 2-dose series. It's not very often I need the second, and it's even rarer that after taking the second I'm still suffering, but when it does happen, 1 or 2 a year, I'll call and let my doctor's office know I need a Toradol shot, and they say come on, and within 15 minutes of getting it I'm 95% if not 100% better. I have no side effects. I get the injection in my right bicep because I'm right-handed and use it a lot. Life saver when all else fails."
