| 5 | Migraine | Received one shot and started to feel better before I left the office. Within an hour, I the migraine was gone. I could go on with my life without pain. | F | 44 | 1X day | 6/25/2010 | 5 | 1st migraine - 2nd extrm fibro pain | none except that within 1 hour pain either subsided or was completely gone. | 1st exper. was for migraine. Recieved shot at Drs. office after that twice again within 1 yr. Last time in hosp. on 9-9 for extreme fibro pain. Although fibro pain did not completely go away it was at least managable. Recomend it. No side effects. | F | 60 | 1X day | 9/15/2010 | 5 | Muscle Spasms in back | I had no side effects. Mine was in the form of a shot in the hip. That was August 20 when I had to go to urgent care because my PC does not use this medicine. BUT I LOVE IT! | F | 71 | shot form 1X O | 10/21/2010 | 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 | Ahhhhh the best side effect after suffering for hours with Kidney stone pain is some much needed rest. The Toradol allowed me to calm down and sleep | I've been suffering with Kidney stone pain..OMG I have never felt such pain in my life. Having given birth twice in my life I can say that passing a kidney stone is by far worse. The pain just doesn't let up. The doctor prescibed me T3's when the pain is bad but on a couple of occasions the pain was just to severe and the T3's just didn't help I had to go to the hospital for help with the pain. After being admitted I felt like a crazy wild injured animal, the pain was unbearable. Once they injected me with this beautiful drug I was literally pain free in 15 minutes. OMG...is this drug amazing. Of course they also administered gravol for the nausea and some demoral (not sure why) but all I can say is Thank YOU makers of Toradol. | F | 47 | ?? 1X AN | 2/20/2011 | 5 | Severe migraines | The nurse warned me that the shot itself would really hurt but to be prepared because it would burn in a few minutes. I had enough time to check out before it began feeling like the injections site was on fire. It felt like the pain lasted hours when it really only lasted 30 minutes at the most. | I have had severe migraines since I was in probably in jr high. I've been through several drugs and the only thing that wass helping was the acutal cause. I went in to see the dr and he convinced me to try a toradol shot. The shot worked wonders and I assumed it wouldn't do anthing beside knock me out. I will be going back for another one when the time comes. | F | 24 | 1X day | 3/16/2011 | 5 | severe lower back pain | none | worked wonders. threw out my back at work. went to urgent care with severe low back pain and having a hard time walking. did not think it helped at all the 1st hour, after that, pain got 80% better. still need a day or two to heal, but wonder drug. I have had this happen before and have been on Dilaudid, vicodin, etc.. I will ask for Toradol if this happens again. and I could drive home from urgent care unlike if I took narcotics | F | 36 | 30mg 1X O | 6/15/2011 | 5 | Ovarian cyst related pain | I did not experience any negative side effects after being injected with Toradol. | I was in excruciating pain due to ovarian cysts which may have ruptured. The Toradol took the pain away 100% and I experienced no negatives. I'm very petite (about 88 lbs) and still have nothing but positives to report after the dosage I was given. | F | 20 | 60 MG 1X day | 10/20/2011 | 5 | er | a little sleepy but im guessing that was becasue it was 3 am and i just finished a 10 hour shift at work | It worked great i have always had a little problem with my back but the last few days its been pretty bad and when i got home it was nicew to be able to lay down and just go to sleep i didnt have to roll around for an hour to get comfy my back didnt hurt so i was able to just relax | F | 23 | 1X day | 12/1/2011 | 5 | muscle and nerve pain back-buttocks | no real negative side effects, slight drowsiness. | Medication took about 20 minutes to work after IM injection. Pain level was 9 or 10, reduced to almost 0. Worked over night. Wish it worked longer. Will ask for it again, when spine pain is high. | F | 51 | 60 mg 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 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 | chronic pain acute athsma depressio | | 2/14/2005 | 5 | Infection post UAE | None | This drug was a God send! After getting no relief via self-administered morphine pump in hospital, Toradol brough the ONLY pain relief I experienced. It worked within seconds of being administered via IV. Literally, within seconds. I highly recommend it and if I ever need high-level pain relief again, I will ask for it by name. | F | 47 | | 11/4/2008 | 5 | Migraine w/ Vomitting | None | Within 10 Minutes Started Feeling Relief and Could Function again. | F | 42 | 1X day | 9/11/2013 | 5 | Kidney Stone | None | I was in the ER with what turned out to be a 8mm plus sized kidney stone causing extreme (10) pain. 3 shots of dilaudid had little effect. Moments after the nurse injected the toradol into the IV line, the pain was almost competely gone. I don't usually take NSAID's, but this was amazing! | M | 51 | 1X day | 3/21/2014 | 5 | Migraine | Slight drowsiness, but that could have been from the 42 hours of pain disappearing and that it was 4am. | I have had migraines and back pain since a bad car accident in 2003. I have had all kinds of shots and pills prescribed, but nothing has done it like the last time I went to the ER. I sat in the waiting room, alternately vomiting and blacking out, for five hours, went back, and dr. gave a shot right away. The initial injection hurt, but the site did not continue to hurt. Within 10minutes, I had fallen asleep -- NOT passed out. I was able to sleep for about half an hour before the doctor woke me, and I was completely fine to drive the half hour home. | F | 30 | ER Injecti 1X day | 11/20/2014 | 5 | migraines | none | I have been getting shots for many years. I also get a Phenergan shot to relieve the nausea and it helps me to sleep. This will end my migraine within 20 mins. These shots allow me to not have to take pain medication. It has been the most helpful of all my migraine treatments over the years. This has been a blessing for me. So thankful it works. I don't have to lose another day to a migraine. | F | 42 | max amount 2X M | 11/5/2015 | 4 | Migranes | Sleepiness, in a good way. The first couple times I took it it made me a bit silly as if I had been drinking. | Completely relieves pain, usually works in about 20 min. After 6 months of taking it once at the start of any migraine and it taking the pain away completely, its starting to have less and less effect every time I take it. I am apprehensive about taking a higher dosage due to the known stomach issues after taking 30 mg or more. 100% would recommend for any headache, migraine, neck or back pain. | F | 22 | 10 mg 1X day | 6/17/2015 |
