For Pain "Got injection at ER for migraine. Worked fast and took the edge off the pain. The worst part was the actual shot, intense pressure and burning for about 15 mins due to it being injected into muscle. I'll probably be sore for a few days. Otherwise, effective, fast-acting medicine."

For Postoperative Pain "I was so very pleased to have taken this pain reliever following surgery. It was strong enough to help with the pain, yet I had none of the nausea and dizziness that I get with most other pain medicines."

For Pain "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 doctor 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."

For Pain "I had Toradol for kidney stones. Didn't do any pain relief a few years ago. I also just have a strain injury to my tendons in my elbow, I was at the doctor's yesterday. I still felt it after the injection in my butt. I think it's a joke. Maybe I'm resistant to it. It does work for headaches though."

For Pain "I have been on everything you can imagine for migraines. Finally, I was prescribed Toradol. It is a miracle pill! No side effects at all, which is great considering I have three young children! It works relatively quickly as well! TRY IT if nothing else has helped."

For Pain "I frequently suffer from kidney stones that ultimately pass. Christmas Eve, I was hit with the worst back pain ever, and my urine output was bright red blood. I was at the E.R. within 30 minutes. I went through triage, and they immediately gave me a shot of Toradol. Within 10 minutes, the pain reduced to a very manageable '2.' A CAT scan confirmed a 17.8 x 12.2 triangular stone that no way would pass. It was stuck at the urethra junction, reducing my flow. No urologist was available, so they gave me another shot and sent me home with a prescription for five days. I reached a urologist the day after Christmas and was immediately scheduled for surgery. Toradol kept me sane and able to focus for the three days. I dislike opiates and would never accept fentanyl or morphine (which have both been offered in the past)."

For Pain "The pain I had was the most severe pain you could imagine - back pain and radicular nerve pain going down the outside and back of the leg, and I couldn't walk unless I had crutches, but a combination of Lortab and the injection of Toradol actually worked. I had been in pain for over 2 weeks, and after numerous visits to the local mega orthopedic clinic, I ended up back to my regular doctor, and he gave me the injection. I have had the pill form before with no results, but the injection works great!"

For Pain "I have chronic kidney stones, and they always want to give me Toradol IM for the pain. First off, the standards for what constitutes a properly sized muscle need to be reviewed because 1/3 of the time, they'll give it to me in the deltoid, while the rest of the time, they insist on the gluteus medius. Regardless of where they put it, it doesn't help much with the problem at hand. If I happen to have a headache or sore back at the time, the Toradol clears it right up. The severe pain it's meant to treat, on the other hand, barely has the edge taken off. The worst thing is that it causes intense soreness and cramping in the injection site for hours, far worse than a tetanus shot. Some people have good experiences, so it's worth a try to dodge opioids, but don't be afraid to tell them it doesn't work."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "I was admitted to the hospital several times for diverticulitis and severe stomach pain. They gave me Toradol every 6 hours as needed, and it was the only medication that helped me. I was offered morphine and oxycodone, but I don’t do well on narcotics, so I refused those and opted to try Toradol. It was the best medication for my situation that helped me."

For Postoperative Pain "Awesome post-surgery drug. I got to stay away from the morphine and other narcotics. You can only take it for a couple of days, but if you don't want narcotics and want to keep a clear head, ask for Toradol."

For Pain "I had a severe case of endometriosis for years. I would pass out from the pain. The only thing that ever helped me was ketorolac, prescribed to me by a nurse practitioner. Prior to that, I was taking Aleve/Naproxen every couple of hours until my stomach couldn't handle it any longer. Not everyone's body can handle the same medication."

For Pain "I was suffering from a somewhat severe case of costochondritis. Felt like a heart attack sometimes. Went to the emergency room, and an IV injection of Toradol was administered to me. Felt a buzz coming on, more pronounced than the saline solution injected into me. Other than that, the pain was mostly gone within a few hours after I got discharged."

For Pain "I've been prescribed this medication numerous times. Doctors in NL are not allowed to treat based on patient history and must follow guidelines, therefore, the only medications they can prescribe in emergencies are Toradol and Flexeril. This medication did not, and does not, relieve my pain, unfortunately."

For Pain "So, tonight I decided to go to an E.R. for my extremely awful wisdom tooth pain that started about 4-5 days ago. I've not eaten solid foods in 3 days because of it... and the nurse comes in and gives me the shot in my arm. First of all, why give someone a shot that causes pain when they're already in pain? It felt like the nurse pulled my shoulder out of place when she injected me. I literally could not move my arm for like 20 or so minutes. So yeah, tooth hurt less because I was busy with the awful shoulder pain. Second, did absolutely nothing for my wisdom tooth pain. Now, I'm having pain in my kidney area and soaking in a hot bath trying to figure out why I'd been given this shot and 800 mg of ibuprofen when it clearly says not to mix."

For Pain "I received this injection last night at the VA hospital in Philadelphia. I just couldn't deal with peripheral neuropathy pain anymore. I hate narcotic medicine, so this was a great alternative, it took a lot of pain away. I still feel light tingles, but nowhere near what I was feeling prior. I have an MRI done to see where my nerve is trapped. I hope it's something I can resolve permanently. My girlfriend asked me to describe the pain, and I told her basically it's a never-ending root canal, and she immediately felt horrible for me. I urge people who have this not to delay treatment, it just gets unbearable, but this shot does work decently. However, it won't last more than a couple of days, so make sure you get scripts for meds needed until you get the MRI done."

For Pain "I was given Toradol when I went to the ER with severe kidney stone pain. I did not want narcotics and didn't have much hope for Toradol (I'd had it years earlier for migraines, when it did nothing). It worked amazingly well for the kidney stone pain, though -- I had relief within minutes. I did have diarrhea the next day, presumably as a side effect, but that's better than the stone pain."

For Postoperative Pain "Given to me in an IV immediately after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Don’t know if they gave me too much or not, but I could not stay awake for a few hours. They had to increase my IV just to flush it out. But I will say one thing... I had absolutely NO PAIN that evening, the next day, or even the following week. Excellent."

For Pain "I went in to the ER for the worst pain of my life. They gave me Toradol, and it helped me so much. The funny thing is, when it wore off, they gave the heaviest hitting opiates, and those wouldn’t touch the pain at all. I needed emergency surgery, it was Toradol that got me through all of this. It only lasts about 3-4 hours, and you have to take it every 6 hours. I did have Dilaudid as well, which kind of helped minimally while waiting for the Toradol. Toradol is known to be particularly effective for gallbladder pain and post-op."

For Pain "Was on day 5 of a left-sided migraine, after being given tramadol, which only made me faint every time I stood up, was taken to the emergency room. Given Toradol through injection only slightly touched the excruciating pain in my head. Was given morphine, which proved more successful. However, the next day I am back to a full-blown headache with pins and needles down my face. Zilch results, ehh.."

For Pain "Approximately 3 weeks after having a posterior foraminotomy/laminectomy, I began having the same pain as I had prior to the surgery. The nerve pain and numbness became increasingly worse, so I called the surgeon's PA at 4 weeks post-op to find out if it was normal. He called in a Toradol script Friday. I took 2 pills (as prescribed) and 1 pill every 6 hours as needed for pain. It's Sunday, and I'm extremely pleased with the result so far! I have complete pain relief taking this in combination with Percocet!"

For Pain "I was given this medicine as an injection IM for severe migraine and inner ear pain. Nurse literally hit my nerve doing the injection, causing pain so bad I can hardly walk even 4 hours since the shot, and it had zero effect on my migraine. Now I am having explosive diarrhea. Never taking this drug ever again."

For Pain "I was given Toradol (IV form) in the hospital. I was in agony after experiencing severe complications (nerve damage, bleeding, infection) from two back-to-back knee surgeries. Morphine couldn't touch the pain. Toradol was my miracle."

For Pain "I damaged tendons between my elbow and forearm. I was given Toradol that did not help my pain, but caused me to have a stomach ache that I’m still up suffering with at 2:39 a.m. Toradol is a joke. I’ve been given ibuprofen, Tylenol, and steroids before the Toradol, which none of them helped. I’ve never been one to abuse opioids, and I don't like that anyone has to deal with that, but I need something that works."

For Pain "I have a severe case of mono, and my tonsils swelled up to the point of not being able to swallow, talk, and could barely breathe. Was in 9/10 pain, and swallowing felt like swallowing knives, which is very unbearable. I was given steroids and a Toradol shot to reduce swelling and for pain. The injection itself was very uncomfortable, but within 15 minutes, I was able to move and open my mouth, and it took away my pain to where I was finally able to swallow solid foods! I'd say it lasted about 6 hours. It did make me a little drowsy, which was nice because I hadn’t been able to sleep. My arm is still very sore from the injection, but it was so worth it!"
