| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR TORADOL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Kidney Stone | No side effects. | I was in intense pain for 4 days, trying to gut out the kidney stone pain. I don't like to take narcotics or pain relievers because they really mess up my head. I was out of pain in 5 minutes and it lasted for 8 hours. | M | 45 | 1 days 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 5 | Rheumatoid Pluracy | NO SIDE EFFECTS -went to ER with intense chest pain with each breath -the pain was so great I didn't want to breath. The pain got worse if I lay flat -NO RELIEF just kill me! It was all gone about 30 seconds after I received the TORADOL injection. | I was told that the side effects on liver and kidneys could be severe however, with that much pain I'd risk it again. | M | 69 | 1 days 1X day | 5/7/2010 | 5 | Kidney Stone | None | Was a God send! I wanted to die from the pain of the kidney stone, this did wonders with no side effects, took about 20 minutes to really kick in. It also helped extremely well with my anxiety, wish I could have a bottle of this stuff! | M | 34 | 1X day | 11/2/2010 | 5 | Migraine | None | I'd had a migraine for a couple of days. I suffer from cluster migraines. I normally take Excedrin migraine (in excess) and Maxalt MLT 10mg, but I wasn't getting any relief. My Dr. Was gone so I went to a new Dr and he gave me a shot of Toradol. The nurse told me it was going to burn, and it did, but my migraine was gone before I left. I didn't get drowsy. Normally my Demerol phenergren concoction knocks me out for two to three days, it's the phenergren, I know it's for nausea but completely wipes me out. | M | 41 | Shot 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 5 | Kidney Stone | None | In ER was given Toradol 30 mg and Zofran 4 mg IV for a 5mm kidney stone. It did take about 10 minutes for the Toradol to start to work but when it kicked in it eliminated 90% of the pain. No side effects at all. This drug is excellent for pain relief. Was given a subcutaneous shot of Dilaudid 2 mg prior to discharge home and that, along with the Toradol (which I was told is longer acting than the Dilaudid,) kept me comfortable until I made it to the Urologist the next morning. Toradol worked so well I probably could have done just fine without the Dilaudid. | M | 36 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 3/1/2011 | 5 | inflamed sciatic nerve | No side effects at all | Was in bed for 6 days, unable to walk, because of severe pain in right buttock and lower right side of back; most likely from shoveling and snow blowing snow (20-plus feet this winter at our home!). Soma muscle relaxant pills allowed me to crawl to toilet. One hour after the shot, which was not painful, I was able to walk and pain had diminished at least 80%. | M | 69 | 1 days 1X day | 4/9/2011 | 5 | Broke three ribs puntured a lung | No adverse side effects | M | 63 | 2 days | 5/28/2012 | 5 | Recovering from Hemorrhoidectomy | none | After taking Oxycodone for many days, my friend, an anesthesiologist set me up for 3 days. Each morning he would give me an injection and I went to function normally each day. The first one was IV injection, the 2nd and 3rd were in my shoulder muscles | M | 50 | 3 days 50 mg 1X day | 1/6/2012 | 5 | Migraines | Burning pain, butt sore, watery stools, stomach cramping | M | 32 | 1 days Shot | 2/1/2013 | 5 | 2 Thoracic Compression Fractures | None | Miracle drug ...pain relief in 5-10 minutes and can last for weeks to months. Just concerned about long term use. | M | 39 | 10 years | 11/24/2006 | 5 | Headache | No side effects | I took toradol shot after having three days of headaches with no releif.....after the shot I feel so much better and I expected it to come back the next day but i got with the same releif from the shot...i love it...... | M | 30 | 1 days | 4/5/2007 | 5 | Pain relief from dressing change | No unpleasant side effects so far. | I have a second degree burn about 30 inches long and as much as 10 inches wide on the outside of my right leg from an industrial accident. The dressing is being changed every day and I am in severe pain. I was set up on a Toradol drip for the my dressing change on the fourth day and it controlled the pain for about 20 hours. The next day a lot of dead skin was removed from my leg so the pain was a lot worse. The Toradol helped, but not as much as the first treatment. | M | 51 | 2 days | 7/26/2006 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Slight naseua, made me extremely tired. | This drug was a Godsend when I was delivered to the ER for Kidney Stones. I couldn't sit, stand or talk, and they gave me an IV of this stuff and within moments the pain was gone. They say it works miracles for people going through kidney stone passage. | M | 32 | 1 days | 5/31/2007 | 5 | Shoulder surgery | Drowsiness and slight itchiness. | Toradol is amazing! It works very well – even better and longer than the vicodin that I was also prescribed. Too bad you can’t take it for more than 5 days before it kills you. I only experienced 2 small side effects. Drowsiness: Within 30 minutes of taking it I knew I would be down for a nap for at least an hour. It also made my face tickle. Not really an itch but enough that I wanted to touch my face to make it stop. I had no hives associated with the tickles. | M | 38 | 3 days | 4/19/2008 | 5 | PAIN BECAME UNBEARABLE | no side effects | Spent last 20 years being misdiagnosed about a pain under my left breast that would radiate to under my armpit, up my arms and neck. Feels and symptom-wise, looks like a heart attack but isn't. Anyway pain became unbearable, went to ER, doctor said I have Tietze's syndrome, gave me Toradol injection. PAIN GONE IN 5 MINUTES! AMAZING, all these years trying all those other meds and this stuff worked in 5 minutes. I almost couldn't believe it. I have a new PAIN FREE life now. Haven't had the pain now in 5 months. Thanks to Dr. Paul Shen, ER, Huntington Beach, CA and the creators of this medicine. | M | 38 | 1 days | 3/6/2009 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain/ Muscle Spasms | None | I have curvature of the spine and thoracic outlet syndrome. It causes alot of pain in my back, arms, and shoulders. I went to the ER and recieved a shot of Toradol and within minutes the level of pain decreased dramaticaly. | M | 25 | 1 days | 12/27/2008 | 5 | Kidney stones | None | This drug works wonders for severe pain (IE My kidney stone!) and there is little if no risk for abuse like conventional opiates. | M | 26 | 1 days | 1/9/2009 | 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 | Severe back spasms (chronic) | I've had probably a dozen injections from 2000-2009, and I've never had any type of side effect that I could link to Toradol. | I have all sorts of problems with my back due to degenerative disk disease, which causes constant inflammation and pain as well as occasional muscle spasms. When I am hit with spasms, they encompass all major muscle groups in my back, neck, shoulders, all the way down to my glutes (sometimes with significant nerve pain/numbness/tingling/etc.). Toradol injections have always knocked the spasms down from a 10 to a 4-6 within an hour or two. Percocet and Soma usually take care of the rest, but NOTHING has knocked down the pain and inflammation as quickly as Toradol. Not experiencing any side-effects from it is a plus, too. | M | 36 | 12 times | 6/9/2009 | 5 | Bad headache | I went to the urgent care on two separate occasions with severe headaches. Both times they gave me Toradol and the pain was gone in minutes. | This is a pretty effective drug in my mind. I understand why this is prescription because it is strong and non-narcotic. People would probably eat this like Tylenol and get all kinds of stomach issues. | M | 35 | 1 days 50 1X O | 10/8/2013 |
