 5  muscle spasms,chronic pain Drowsiness. My Mom took it for years but now they're finding it can do bad organ damage real fast, so she can't take it anymore. I recommend it to chronic neck and back pain sufferers who visit the ER like a second home as a "pain cocktail". Ask for a shot of demerol, toradol and visterol. It will give relief within 20min. depending on dosage and body weight of course. Don't feel bad about telling the doctor what you want, he/she's not a mind reader. Just don't EVER take a prescription for pain pills from an ER doctor, that's how you get flagged in the computer as a drug seeker, go see your doctor for your meds. F 21 5 times

 4  headaches none noticed I started taking it after visiting the Diamond headache clinic in Chicago. I wasn't delighted with the thought of stabbing myself with a needle, but after practicing on a orange, I had the confidence to try. When I had my next bout with a killer headache I had no problem utilizing the shot of toradol. Funny what pain will do to a person. toradol has been one of the few consistant reliefs for my pain. Havn't had a script in a while but still would use. M 43 9 months

 5  migraine oral and IM 2 doses of oral in a day, bloody nose the next. IM--sweet relief--no side effects either. With all other drugs pushed at me and I refused, my NP offered me this. My migraines are gone totally within 1 hour without sleepiness, hangover, etc. Go home, lay on couch, chair etc. and in a short time it is gone. I saw a neuro as well as my rheumy and they have both endorsed the medication for me. I have FMS/CFS as well and by not taking care of the body/muscle pain, it can lead to the migraine out of control. I know my limits of no more than twice of oral 30 mg in a day, then call for the hypo which is 60 mg. My medication insurance will not allow me to get more than 6 doses in a month of the oral. Yet they cover endless in the ER, different insurance for that care. F 50 5 years

 2  neck and shoulder pain the injection itself (IM) was fine. of course there was a bit of pain due to pushing a liquid into the muscle tissue, but it was slight. at first, it really worked for me, but about two hours after the shot, i began to have severe abdominal cramping and intense burning pains. i began vomitting a few hours after and had incredible pain. i doubt i'll take it again, as the only thing that helped the pain was hydrocodone, which is what i was trying NOT to take. ce la vie!

 1  Inflammatory cartilage pain Felt like I was "high" - things didn't make sense to me, I was lifting my feet several feet in the air while walking, etc. Just completely "out of it." Given as a shot to ease inflammatory cartilage pain (in addition to prescriptions to many other NSAIDs). Later found out through my own research that the NSAIDs actually further damage the cartilage. Sure, Toradol eased my pain for about three hours, but that was it. Never again! I'm on herbal anti-inflammatories now and feel "normal" again and my pain level continues to decrease! F 28 1 days

 5  Surgery, other I cannot take Morphine or Demerol (found out the hard way), so this was my only other alternative. It very works well, but not as well as the other two described above as it wears off earlier. The only concern I have is that prolonged use can lead to kidney damage which was why I was taking it in the first place. As long as amount and duration is monitered, I would highly recommend Toradol. F 28

 3  Migraine Stomach cramps with the feeling of diarrhea, but was constipated I had had a migraine for 8 days. I was taking two other pain medications as prescribed by my doctor 4 pills 4 times per day. It made me sleep, but when I awoke, the pain was back. I could not take another day of it. I visited my doctor and was given an injection of Toradol. The dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and the headache was gone within 10 minutes. It was wonderful. The next day it was back. I am at a loss. I am now on day eleven of the migraine. It is not as bad as it was, but I am still looking for total relief. F 29 1 days

 4  Back and Leg Pain from my Back When I would urinate I think I was finished before I was finished. I dont know if that side effect came from the shot, but it was right after I got the shot. I have had 4 shots over the past 8 months. I felt no immediate relief with the shit. It took about 3 days to take effect. Then, it would only last about 7 days after I got the shot. Just like clock work the pain is back. When I get a lot of pain in my lower back I get leg pain in both legs. I hope to have surgery soon to correct the problem, but toradol really helps; for a week or so. M 36 8 months

 5  Pelvic Pain/Fibroids/Endometriosis Minimal side effects of dry mouth, sleepiness, hungry, slightly dizzy, and very thirsty. Nothing when compared to the side effects of the other drugs I've tried! I have endometriosis coupled with a few large fibroids. Needless to say I have severe pelvic pain especially during those times of the month I bleed HEAVILY. I've tried darvicet, percicet, Ibpr 800, and Tylenol with codeine... with absolutly NO relief! I was given a script of 20 pills for 10mg of Toradol by an ER doctor and with 30 mins of taking ONE, I was pain free for 12 hours!! Only 10mg of Toradol 2 times a day and I can breath! Tramadol comes close but doesn't last as long nor act as quick. Just wanted other women to know about this miracle drug! F 36 3 days

 1  headache Night sweats, dizziness, severe abdominal cramping and chest pain (due to inflammation of the esophagus). I've had moderate cramping and burning pain in these areas since the medication was stopped 3 days ago. My appetite is almost non-existent; Eating is forced and my stomach starts cramping about 5 minutes after the first bite of food. I ended up in the hospital with some sort of virus... the resident ordered IV administered toradol every 6 hours for an accompanying headache. It only worked for about 2 hours per dose before the headache returned, and about 30 minutes after the 6th dose I started having something akin to spasms in my stomach and chest. I felt like every major organ in my abdominal cavity had exploded. The initial episode lasted for about 7 hours before the pain subsided to the point where I could even sit up without triggering another spasm. They discontinued the injections and I was discharged yesterday (I was going to leave AMA but the head physician felt sorry for me and offered to sign the papers.) I still feel like someone took a sledge hammer to my stomach, but I've been taking pepsid and prilosec to try and stave it off to an extent. I'm just hoping that this hasn't done any permanent damage. I hate medicine in general, but I'd have to be crazy or incompetent to even consider taking this stuff F 19 6 times
