| 1 | Lateral sphincteroromy | Severe abdominal pain and cramps,lethargy and dizziness. I would not recommend this drug due to the extreme side effects and ineffectual result as a pain reliever. | F | 43 | 2 days 30mg | 1/26/2012 | 1 | Chronic Migraine | Legs feel "shaky" Back pain to the point i cant stand up staight, nausea, wheezing, Cold/hot flashes. abdominal cramps. Confused and out of it. Strange dreams, cotton mouth, swolen face. | I recieved Toradol as an injection in my right butt cheek, and immediately felt pain all down the outer right side of my leg, could barely walk. Went home slept for about 3 hours, woke up feeling like my face was swolen and with horrible cotton mouth. Drank alot of water, and felt like I was going to throw up. Took another 2 hour nap, and woke up feeling distant, and my legs are shaky like I just ran uphill for an hour, My lower back hurts and I cant sit or stand upright, it hurts so bad. NEVER AGAIN will I get this. | F | 24 | 1 days 1X day | 1/20/2012 | 2 | Chronic Back Pain/MYOFASCIAL | SEVERE ABDOMINAL CRAMPS!!! I WOULD RATHER SUFFER WITH MY PAIN THAN SUFFER THROUGH THESE HORRIBLE, MENSTRUAL-LIKE CRAMPS!! | F | 46 | 1 days 30 1X day | 1/19/2012 | 1 | shoulder injury | this medicine sucks donkey balls! it does not help any kind of pain and will also make your face, tongue, and lips swell. and if you are athletically built like me, your face will look fucked up. a double chin on a muscular person is not attractive! looked like will smith in the movie hitch!!! if your doctor wants to give you this, you tell him/her HELL NO! | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! IT IS DANGEROUS! IF YOU WANT YOUR FACE TO LOOK LIKE YOU JUST GOT THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF YOU GO AHEAD! THIS INJECTABLE MEDICATION SHOULD BE BANNED BY THE FDA! | M | 35 | 7 days 40 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 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 | 1 | Knee and foot injury | Severe abdominal cramps, worst pain of my life, night sweats as if I had the flu, pain lets up only to come on stronger than before. | This stuff does not do anything for pain from an injury and the stuff must be poison the way it affected my body. Never again! Pain in my stomach so bad I wanted to call the ambulance but Dr. insisted it "couldn't be the tramadol". More than 24 hrs later still in pain and considering going to the hospital with or without Dr. approval. Frankly I'm more than a little scared. | M | 45 | 1 days 30 MG 1X day | 12/28/2011 | 1 | gastroenteritis | When I arrived at the Er I told the registry nurse that I was allergic to asprin products and about 20 minutes after recieving an iv to administer the torodol I started breaking put in hives and my breathing was weird I told the nurse but it seemed like they didn't really care then my inner lip started to swell.then the outer lip and gradually my face started to swell. The doctor sent me home with no meds neither did they attempt to stop the allergic reaction by the time I got home I liked like a disfigured battery victim. I can't believe how careless people can be with patients they should have never sent me home like that. I'm still breaking out in hives and its been 2days. I had a headache and was very tired also | F | 36 | 1 days 30 | 12/27/2011 | 2 | severe lower back pain | None | F | 38 | 1 days | 12/7/2011 | 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 | 4 | Slipped disc in neck | Had chest tightening when it started to wear off, and I wished it lasted longer, but other than that, best drug for severe pain from a disc problem. | I was diagnosed with a slipped disc at the ER last week, after a full night of severe pain. Dr gave me a shot of steroids and sent me home a script for vicodin, muscle relaxers, and steroids. These all helped, but still was in a lot of pain. Went to my regular doctor as I ran out of all the meds I had and was in sever pain again. She gave me a shot of this and within 15 minutes I felt better than I had in over a week! I was pain free for a full six hours, but unfortunately, it was only for six hours! | F | 35 | 1 days 60 mg 1X O | 11/15/2011 | 1 | Spasms in shoulder blade | As soon as the nurse injected me in my hip, my left arm started tingling and my thumb went numb. That was 10-14-11 and I haven't been able to work since. After that and since it has been one thing after another, first rapid heartbeat, headache, laryngospasms, sore throat and hoarse. I am going to see an orthopedist because I told the ER doctor time the numbness occurred and his response was, "well you haven't had a stroke." | If it is the doctor's choice he should thoroughly go over the patients meds he is on and the possible side effects. I told the doctor I was taking Mobic and Paxil (read about that) and that I suffered from bad allergies. Otherwise, I would not recommend it for pain relief. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 11/15/2011 | 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 | 3 | Migraine | Severe nausea, chest tightness | Got Toradol in the ER for severe migraine, worked for that but around 12 hours after that, I was severely nauseous and my chest would get tight as well as a headache. It did take care of my migraine so while I will probably not want it again due to the side effects, it does work. | F | 14 | 1X day | 10/19/2011 | 2 | Stomach cramping and pain | Went to the ER with severe stomach cramping and pain in right side. Was given Toradol as a non-narcotic pain reliever along with Phenegren for nausea. Its been 13 hours since I recvd the medication and I feel very tired, out of it, nauseaous and a bit of tightness in my chest. Would rather deal with the pain then deal with these side effects. | F | 26 | 1 days 1cc IV 1X O | 10/11/2011 | 1 | Bladder Pain | Tremors, shaking, jerking, involuntary movements, dizziness, ringing ears, burning skin sensation legs, hands and arms. Restlesness, dilerium, rapid heart beat, weakness, blurred vision. | Dr injected 50mg of Toradol as a "gift" after changing a painful catheter. I spent 10 hours laying on the floor twitching and tossing and the following 10 hours in horrible pain with burning skin sensation all over. Worst pain medication on my life bar none. | M | 53 | 1 times 50mg 1X day | 9/9/2011 | 5 | Root canal | I felt very calm! Which was great! | I was given a Toradol shot by my doctor (I work with her) I showed up for work after a 2 hour root canal! I couldn't take the vicoden my dentist prescribed so she gave me a shot. It kicked in about 10 minutes later. It is now 7 hours later & its wearing off. I love it, I wasn't sleepy, no upset stomach or or anything. | F | 35 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 9/8/2011 | 3 | Santa Rosa Hospital | helped pain really good felt like i was in lala land at first after that started getting fever wanting to vomit but nothing would come out hands shaky | took it at 12 am and the next day at 4 pm i still feel feverish shaky and nausea might be because i have not ate today though | F | 24 | 1 times 1 injectio 1X day | 8/19/2011 | 1 | post-operative pain (major surgery) | I was at Johns Hopkins when I had a bad reaction to Toradol. I had mild paralysis on one side of my face and my eyes rolled up into my head-- I was "stuck" looking up at the ceiling. I was lucid enough to know it was strange, but I couldn't look down. A dose of Benadryl (and stopping Toradol) is what helped me. I'll never take Toradol again. I also react strangely (but differently) to Morphine, Demerol, Compazine and Reglan. I was told I was the youngest patient they'd known to ever have so many drug allergies...and that it's usually older people who have such problems. Guess I have a lot to look forward to. :( | F | 33 | 1X day | 7/21/2011 | 4 | severe lower back pain | minor headache mild stomach cramping | Went in for severe back pain .. Couldn't stand straight or walk upright (10mg Vicodi 4x's daily wasn't working - use it for chronic back pain/spinal tumors/exploded discs in low back) .. Given the shot in the arm.. HURTS once the med hits the muscle, like Mike Tyson punched me in arm and gave me a charlie horse! But once the med starts to kick in, I could walk normally back to my car. The shot took away 85% of the pain. The downside was, it only lasted about two hours before the pain came back. (I was assured the shots affects would keep the pain at bay for 4-6 hours) .. I would use again if my pain gets over the top .. | F | 41 | 1 times 1cc 1X day | 7/13/2011 | 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 |
