Comparing Ketorolac vs Toradol

For Pain Neck and upper back pain. Progressed to numbness in left pinky and ring finger. Then odd sensation painful but agitating pulses in medial arm. Pain level 7 (constants edge of tears). History of neck pain at c5/6. So I tried to treat at home with rest, naproxen, flexerol, and traction. Pain and symptoms got worse. Went to ER as I was dropping things in the kitchen. Don't like narcotics. Given toradol injection. WOW! Quick relief went from 7 to 2. Stiffness in neck reduced and pain in shoulder. Still numb in fingers but media arm better. Gave oral steroids and oral toradol. Pain is increasing again, but managed.

For Pain I had a severe concussion and although it did take away some of the pain, it only made the head aches manageable.

For Pain I had gotten addicted to Lortab and ask 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, not urinating enough, the medicine scared me (he also gave me the Toradol pills). I have an appoinment 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 Went to 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 kidney stones and was prescribed 10 mg tablets to take for several days. They barely worked at all, had to go back a couple 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.
