Not considered an addtive drg | Are there any controlled test for Toradol and possible kidney injuries from long term, low usage use? Does anyone have information that Toradol causes internal injuries from careful long term use??? I cannot find anything. I've used it a long time with no prob. Need to be careful with stomach. Eat blanch food for 3 days after shot. Do not over use Toradol. Save for real NEED. Great Drug, given me my life back. | F | 56 | 7 years | 11/5/2006 | 5 | severe tension headaches | None at all | Miracle drug for my severe tension headaches. I have had these headaches for over 30 years -usually every 45 days . I have been taking strong prescription drugs which only dull the pain. Toradol works within 20mins -pain free & pain is gone until next months headache. | F | 51 | 7 years 30 1X M | 5/18/2010 | 5 | migraines | have chronic migraines, cannot take any opiates as I throw up when taking them for hours. Have had toradol several times, at the ER and also at my doctors office. Altho the shot burns and I cry out (on purpose ha ha) I love this drug. i have no side effects other than it takes away the migraine pain and I can go about my business. It is a life saver for the person like me that cannot have heavy duty painkillers. | F | 62 | 5 years not sure 1X AN | 1/13/2013 | 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 | 5/26/2005 | 5 | Bad back have had two surgeries | None really | It takes my pain away | F | 51 | 5 years 10 3X W | 5/27/2021 | 4 | Chronic and Hemiplegic Migraines | Some lightheadedness when getting up quickly as well as some cramping. | I was prescribed this to take as needed for severe chronic migraines at age 17 when I ended up in the hospital with my first hemipelgic migraine. I have to say with this 8.5 times out of 10 my migraine is gone within 15 minutes. For severe migraines that will not be helped with food, rest, or caffeine, this is what I reach for. These pills have really helped me, I would recommend. Use your own judgement though, just because it works for some people, does not mean it will work for everyone. | F | 22 | 5 years 10 MG | 5/28/2020 | 5 | HERNIATED DISC, CHRONIC PAIN | NONE | I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND NOTHING EVER RELEIVED MY SCREAMING PAIN THE WAY A TORADOL SHOT DID. I WAS SO GREATFULL AND HAPPY TO KNOW THERE WAS RELIEF IN MY FUTURE. | F | 39 | 4 years | 4/12/2005 | 3 | endometriosis pain | Dizziness, nausea, tiredness when I first started taking it. Now it seems to cause a bit of water retention but that's it. | I take this to take the edge off the pain so I can get through work. It takes about an hour before it kicks in for me. It does not do a lot for the pain, just gets me through until I can take a Vicodin at home | F | 34 | 4 years 10mg 1X AN | 11/1/2010 | 5 | migrane headaches/stress/tension | none,if maybe tired but they tell you, after you get this shot lie dowm, in a quite, dark room.. wich i fall a sleep | its great when all else fails, like the motrins, tylonal,tension relive haedaches didnt, we tried the shot of torodol.. it worked... so a factor of why you took the shot is probly a reson of your side effect, i went and reduced all stress by 62% and i feel better, not great but better, less frquent, and can do more. she also did some other checking before she gave me the Torodol, blood work, and then she asked if i we depressed. so may be if you too this and you were/ are depressed, or you took it becuse of stress, and your wondering why it came back, the awnsers are right in front of you stress is a major factor of MIGRANE, as soon as i have tryed all migrane tension headache and all else false i go to the doc. usully in a 24 hrs. | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/23/2009 | 2 | Migraines | I get headaches that last for weeks, and the first couple times I was given Toradol I thought it was amazing...no side effects and no headaches. The last 4-5 times I have gotten the shots it hasn't worked though. | It messes up my stomach, and this last time I was given 5mg Zomig with it and it still didn't work. It just made my stomach worse and i became very emotional. I thought it would be good to put this just in case others were experiencing the same and felt like they were the only one...you are not. | F | 43 | 1.5 years 60mg 1X day | 10/6/2010 | 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 | 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 | 1/20/2003 | 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 | 2/14/2006 | 5 | recurrent severe kidney stone pain | Minor burning during injection and persistent soreness at injection site up to 72 hrs. This can be avoided if injected 1ml/1ml with Marcaine; a local anesthetic. | [These comments are regarding Toradol for injection, I have not personally found Toradol tablets to be effective for pain relief.] I first encountered Toradol years ago when hospitalized with my first migraine, 1 injection and the migraine was miraculously gone. Fast forward 20 years to 2009 and I am rushed to the ER with 10/10 flank pain, which turns out to be a kidney stone. Again I am given Toradol and the pain is almost gone within seconds. I am currently producing kidney stones like some sort of masochistic factory & both the ER and my urologist are very generous in offerring me Norco, Vocodin and Oxycodone. But I far prefer, and always request 30mg/ml Toradol for self injection. (Note: I am VERY needle phobic, that's how bad my pain is and how well this medication works when injected). It is the only thing that actually rids me of all the pain and leaves me functional so that I can still work and drive. It IS a drug with many side effects and must be taken under the close management of a physician. However, for those people whom are good candidates for it, like myself, it it a absolute godsend. My quality of life would be zero right now without it. | F | 43 | 6 months | 3/31/2009 | 5 | Chronic Migraine | I always get tired to the point of falling asleep randomly about an hour after injection. | I see a lot of people commenting about nausea after taking Toradol. My doctor has paired it with Zofran (Ondansetron) to counteract it. | M | 24 | 5 months 15mg/ml 1X AN | 9/11/2015 | 5 | Migraine | Nausea, Drowsiness | On maintenance for migraines (Topomax). Had migraine for 5 days straight - took Maxalt and did not help. The doctor told me to go get a Toradol injectect and the doctor gave me a Phenegin shot as well as a Toradol shot - all sysmptoms of the migraine were gone within 20 minutes and stayed gone for quite a while with no real side effects except slept really well. I just recently had to have another Toradol shot for another really bad migraine and the doctor did not give me the phenegin shot with the toradol shot - had severe nausea with it and really out of it - but didn't go straight home and sleep, but he shot does work. Just need to make sure you go straight home and sleep it off. | F | 42 | 4 months | 7/22/2009 | 4 | Cluster Headaches | It knocks me out, which is nice if I take it before bed. It gives me a metallic taste in my mouth and a mild migraine. Ive had a little burning in my chest and some fluttering. | This works faster and efficiently! When my headaches are a 10 on the scale, this is my miracle drug! | F | 32 | 3 months | 12/5/2007 | 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 |
