| 5 | chronic pain acute athsma depressio | | 2/14/2005 | 5 | Migraines/ shot in ER | None | Took my migraine away, just like that. It was awesome | 36 | 1 days 40 mg | 11/10/2014 | 5 | Back injury | None yet | 65 | 3 days | 3/14/2017 | 5 | Kidney stones | None | Worked excellent and relieved nearly all pain within minutes | 35 | 1 days | 4/17/2017 | 2 | Back went out | Received in the hospital and my back pain never went away after it went out. It burns as it's being injected, and takes a while afterwards to work. | Not a fan, but that's all they give you in the ER. | 34 | 1 days 30 mg | 10/1/2019 | 1 | Ripped meniscus | Nausea, severe stomach pain, burning stomach, increased appetite, minimal pain relief, hot flashes, face flushing, tired, feeling of malaise after 24 hours. Do not reccomend. | 55 | 1 days Unsure | 7/30/2019 | 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 | 1 | Muscle Tear | Didn't feel the shot at all. Wish that was the end of the story. Took my pain away however about 10 hours later it seemed to wear off and I began having extreme back pain and upset stomach, nausea and no appetite which has lasted for days. Im hoping they subside and go away altogether soon. I would have much rather dealt with the muscle pain then go through all these side effects. | Don't even bother, not worth it. | 37 | 1 days | 7/19/2015 | 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 | Toradol Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 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 | 2/21/2006 | 5 | Oral extractions | Due to sphincture of odie spasms (caused by gallbladder removal 20 years ago) I am unable to take any type of pain meds until I discovered Toradol....This med is great....No added pain in bile duct area. | F | 64 | 2 days | 5/3/2006 | 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 | | 2/3/2006 | 5 | herniated dis on neck and lower bac | dry mouth | it is my second time by injection , i was in a lot of pain this med help com the pain . it work for me | F | 51 | | 7/17/2006 | 5 | Migraine | None | I had a severe migraine for 6 days. Tried Relpax would take it away for a couple of hours but then headache was back. One shot of Toradol and 5 minutes later the headache was gone! It broke the cycle and it hasn't returned!! | F | 35 | 1 days | 3/22/2007 | 5 | Back and Neck Pain | None noticed | It took away my pain quickly and I was able to get through the last holidays while entertaining and cooking for almost 50 people. Without the shot, I'm not sure what I would have done! I have severe neck and back pain again and will be injected tomorrow. This is only the 4th time I've had a shot, but if you need pain relief fast...I recommend it! | F | 44 | 3 days | 7/31/2006 | 5 | Migraine | None. | I have almost instanteous relief when I take a shot of toradol. My doctor has limited the shots to no more than one per week, because of the side effects. | F | 38 | 10 months | 11/9/2003 | 5 | Arthritis pain-Crohn's | None that I know of. | F | 20 | 5 days | 1/21/2003 | 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 | 8/13/2002 | 5 | Severe Migraine--administered in ER | I've come into the ER several times with migraines; and now that I'm a recovering addict I voice my concern for being given narcotics. I was given toradol twice. The first time it helped a little. But I still left the ER with a headache. The second time it knocked the headache out almost immediately. However, in both cases the headache did return to its peak severity the next day. | F | 25 | 1 days | 10/10/2012 |
