| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR TORADOL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | chronic pain acute athsma depressio | | 2/14/2005 | 5 | Headaches | None | I do self-injections of Toradol 30 mg. Toradol works quite rapidly for my throbbing headaches and I don't seem to suffer the stomach upset that oral anti-inflammatories cause me. As soon as Toradol is injected, I can feel the medication working rather quickly. Self-injections save me trips to my local Emergency Room and I can begin headache treatment immediately at home instead of waiting hours (with pain) in the ER. I use the Toradol injections wisely and limit my injections as instructed to avoid kidney reactions, etc. | F | 2 months | 6/3/2007 | 4 | For a bulging disc | I had none after the shot. But im very tired today. But that may be cause I haven't been sleeping well because of my pain. | F | 1 days 60mg | 7/4/2016 | 3 | chest pain | This toradol injection hurt like ****! I thought the dr. stabbed me n the wrong spot. | F | 1 days injection | 5/26/2012 | 1 | Toradol Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 1 | Kidney Stone | None | This seems to be the initial goto in the ER for kidney stones, (which I get with sad regularity), but it seems to have no effect whatsoever on me, so I get another 20-60 minutes of pain while they figure this out and give me something that works (one of the opiates). I don't dare ask for opiates though because the last thing you want is to get labelled as a "seeker". | 1 days ? 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 1 | knee surgery | In the preop interview I told the anethesiologist that Toradol caused severe GI bleeding when I was given it in the past....unfortunately the anesthesiologist did not communicate this fact to the nurse (CRNA) who was actually doing my anesthesia (a nurse not an MD)....So I got toradol post op when I was in severe pain; I tried to refuse this drug but got it anyway....and I bled like a stuck pig...imagine vomiting huge blood clots and being admitted because your anesthetist/nurse gave you a drug that you were clearly allergic to.....the anesthesiologist told me that "she's just a nurse(CRNA) and that you can't expect her to know the allergies/ect.....what a load of crap....the anesthesiologist never told the crna of my toradol problem and basically lied about telling her...I will never consent to the so-called "anesthesia care team"...I want a single provider to perform any and all anesthesia and anesthesia-related care..I will not consent to anesthesiologist/care.. I ju | terrible drug that almost caused me to bleed out | F | 1 days 60 1X day | 9/8/2014 | 1 | Pain in back after slip and fall | Nausea for a few days. Severe pain in abdominal area. Pain was so bad, I went to the ER. Googled to figure out if anyone else had experienced side effects. Received my answer: YES. Why is this fxxxxxg drug still being given? Why are Pharmaceuticals treating us like subject rats? I have had severe abdominal pain for 7 days. Feels like an ulcer. | Discontinue giving this drug to patients! | F | 1 days | 7/27/2018 | 1 | Fractured tailbone | nausea bloating severe stomach pain severe headache | F | 1 days ? | 2/21/2019 | 1 | kidney stone | Extreme nausea i've took this pill at 6:30AM it is currently 7pm and ive been throwing up. I can't eat anything I feel completely horrible!!! | 0 days 10 1X day | 10/16/2020 | 2 | postviral migraine | dry mouth | This only took the edge off of my daughters refractory migraine. We tried it later and found it didn't really help. We found out later there were other meds they could have tried. | F | 8 | 3 days | 12/7/2008 | 3 | Migraine | Severe nausea, chest tightness | Got Toradol in the ER for severe migraine, worked for that but around 12 hours after that, I was severely nauseous and my chest would get tight as well as a headache. It did take care of my migraine so while I will probably not want it again due to the side effects, it does work. | F | 14 | 1X day | 10/19/2011 | 5 | Severe migraine | I went rather loopy and started singing silly songs apparently. When my mom and I got home I went to bed and slept for almost 12 hours. | F | 15 | 1 days Unknown | 4/18/2012 | 5 | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Absolutely no side effects... My daughter suffers from horrible, acute pain on occasion from Inflammatory Bowel Disease. When the regular medicine doesn't work, we have found that a trip to the ER and a shot of Toradol works amazingly well. She has experienced no bad side effects. | F | 16 | 1 days | 11/24/2012 | 5 | Thoracic surgery for collapsed lung | None? I got really sweaty but I think that was the morphine | This was the greatest. In the recovery room after the surgery they gave me 40 mg (I think, massive amounts of pain = hard to concentrate) of morphine and couldn't give me any more. That got me down from a ten to a... 7 maybe. Two shots of toradol got me down to a 2. Thank you toradol!! :) | M | 16 | 2 days | 5/21/2009 | 5 | strained neck | I got into a car accident and strained my neck and I'm just really loopy right now and I cannot stop laughing and crying | I'm actually not sure if this is what he gave me but he just injected me with a shot | F | 16 | 1 days 30 | 9/7/2015 | 5 | Chronic migraines | Upset stomach and pain where the needle was...nothing all all worth complaining about...just saying...I slept for 15 hours...sleep felt great! | 1 Toradol shot and migraines stopped...its been a month, no migraine! WHY are the doctors forcing all these pills down everyone's throat when 1 shot can give total relief??? Its not depression, anxiety or blood pressure...its PAIN... horrible brain pain and Toradol stops that pain...10 minutes after the shot I had my life back...pain free!!! Thank GOD for Toradol...and its not addicting...like all the other medicine the doctors tell you to take! Its medicine that WORKS! | M | 17 | 1 times 60 mg shot 1X day | 10/19/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Diarrhea, Nausea, vomiting for 3 days following shot of Toradol for Migraine. | I will never take this again. I would rather have the migraine than be sick to my stomach for 3 plus days. | F | 17 | 1 days 1X day | 6/21/2018 | 1 | i had a bad stress headache | I have bad stomach pain been going to the bathroom more often makes me feel very drozzy | I dont like it i dont like what it does i mean took away my headache but added more pain to my body no thanks | F | 17 | 1 days idk | 12/8/2016 | 1 | Migraine | Started having a panic attack 15 minutes after having it through IV, stopped IV and got to go home, had racing heart rate and was extremely tired, day after I spent the day vomiting or using the bathroom, one of the most miserable expirences ever | F | 17 | 1 days | 3/28/2017 |
