| 5 | 2 day migraine | Went in crying in pain came out numb/ dull sensation, slept and feel fine. Best thing the doc ever did for me. No pain in my leg or back from the shot. will take the shot again if/when needed. | F | 53 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 6/1/2011 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Strained Calf Muscle | I strained a calf muscle and received a shot of Toradol along with tablets of Ketolorac for the pain. I took only four tablets in two days and experienced dizziness, loss of balance, and vomiting. This went on for 5 days. I started to feel better, but a week later while at work, I was transported by ambo to the hospital with a severe loss of balance, nausea, and dizziness. I have never had this drug before and had no symptoms as this before taking the Toradol or the Ketolorac. It is three days later after this last episode and I am still dizzy and nauseated. CAT scan, MRI scan, blood tests are all negative. Dr's do not know what is the cause. I do not recommend taking this drug! | M | 45 | 2 days 10 4X day | 3/12/2011 | 1 | pain from a slipped lumbar disk | Skin rash over my body, itchiness in scalp, diminished hearing, chest pains, swelling of face, lips and eyelids, dizziness, deleriousness, disorientation, bloodshot eyes, extreme thirst, confused speech - all side effects presented over the first hour of taking the Toradol injection - was immediately administered an IV with a steroid and anti-histamine. | from a pain perspective it worked very well, despite the side effects. As an anti-inflammatory it also appeared to work well. | M | 34 | 1 days unsure 1X O | 3/7/2011 | 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 | 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 | 4 | status migrainosus | Extreme drowsiness. For nearly 24 hours after the injections (first Toradol, then Phenergan, for the nausea), I stumbled around the house, feeling like I should be "doing something," but unable to make it more than a few feet away from my bed. In that 24 hour period, I probably slept for at least 17. I was also disoriented and a little confused, although I was hardly awake to feel it. | I received a Toradol injection at my Dr.'s office after experiencing a migraine that lasted for over three days, with visual disturbances continually recycling across my field of vision the entire time. I'd had plenty of migraines before, but never anything of this duration or intensity. The doctor gave me the injections, letting me know that this should break the pain cycle, but not really warning me about the side-effects. I went home, laid down on the bed, and fell asleep until almost the same time, the next day, save a short period of wakefulness after the first 10 hours of sleep, or so. The medication did definitely help, though; I've had some moderate eye pain, a little sensitivity to light & sound, but overall, I feel about a million times better. I wish I weren't still quite so out-of-it the next day, but at least the pain has finally stopped. | F | 22 | 1 times 60 MG 1X AN | 2/16/2011 | 2 | rib pain/Costochondritis | Intense nausea, dizziness and migraine about an hour after the shot. Migraine still hasn't gone away after more than 24 hours. | The toradol shot worked for the rib pain but the migraine it caused made it super not worth it. | F | 25 | 1 days 1 shot 1X day | 2/11/2011 | 2 | Kidney infection | Headache | This drug didn't even touch my kidney pain. Neither did ibuprofen. I wish the docor would've prescribed something stronger. | F | 28 | 10mg 3X day | 2/8/2011 | 1 | Wide spread fms and arthritic pain | Stomach upset, very emotional ,agitation,depression,Itch all over body.My body feels sick !Though dulling enough it to function.It almost feels like ,I have the flu.Will not be talked into this form of relief again.Would rather have the pain and feel sane or fogged. | I guess its a great drug for those who can tolerate it without reaction.I personalty cannot handle the side effects. | F | 44 | 1 days shot 1X O | 2/1/2011 | 1 | back injury | 3 hours after I was given an injection I developed stomach cramps, nausea, severe sweating, dizziness and vomiting. I continue to have spells of dizziness and vomiting months after the initial injection. It comes every few weeks. I now have vertigo. I would never ever recommend this to anyone. | F | 47 | 1 days injection 1X day | 1/28/2011 | 2 | Pain due to Multiple Sclerosis | No side effects to report. It's just that the drug doesn't work for me. I was told the injections work but the pill form for me did nothing for pain. I was looking for something non narcotic for pain but this did nothing for me | F | 35 | 1 months 10mg 2X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | Nerve injury in foot and ankle. | Horrible stabbing lower stomach cramps. Stopped taking 2 days ago but the cramps aren't getting any better. | F | 30 | 2 days 10 mg 3X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | Auto accident | Bruising at injection site. Numbness and tingling of entire side of thigh where injection was given. It's been almost 4 months and it's only getting worse. | It worked well for the pain after my auto accident but the constant numbness and tingling sensation is awful. Apparently it can paralysis at the injection area. I only hope it's not permanent!!! | F | 39 | 1 days 1X day | 1/4/2011 | 1 | Post-Op Knee swelling and pain | It totally zoned me out, made me dizzy, felt ill. It wasn't a normal side effect--something felt really wrong. My girlfriend almost took me to the ER, not by my request--I was too out of it--she just saw that I wasn't right. Worst passed in a couple of hours though. | Several days after pretty extensive knee surgery, my knee was really swollen and causing throbbing pain. It was the 4th of July weekend, my Doctor's office was closed, so I went to the ER to get it drained and to get more pain medication (this was the third similar operation on the knee, so this was nothing new). The ER Doctor drained the knee OK. But rather than giving me percodan or vicodan -- the pain medicine my Doctor had prescribed on both prior operations and this one and which worked fine and didn't have any significant side effects-- the ER Doctor gave me a shot of Toradol (to "load" me) and Toradol pills. This was around noon. I took the pills as directed--basically closely following the shot. By late afternoon-- 4-5pm, I was really messed up. I've had a lot of different anti-inflammatory medications for my knees and as well as several pain medications (percodan, vicodan, darvoset, etc.). Never had any significant side effects, except the expected drowsiness etc. from the pain medication. Whenever I am asked about drug allergies, I put down Toradol. I don't know if what I had was an allergic reaction--don't really think it was-- but I do know I don't ever want to have any Toradol enter my system ever again. | M | 49 | 1 days ?? 2X day | 12/19/2010 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Muscle spasms at injection site for two months after, numbing in leg . I have a constant knot now at injection site in deep muscle left buttocks . Some relief from massage . | Pain from this shot was not noticed compared to shoulder pain as shoulder healed pain in the but got worse . | M | 42 | 1 days 1X day | 12/17/2010 | 2 | Migraine | Stomach pain. | I was given toradol injections at home for chronic migraine. Ended up in the hospital with severe stomach pain. It helped reduce the migraine pain but then the migraine comes back worse than it was before. | F | 44 | 5 days IM Inj. 1X day | 11/22/2010 | 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 | 4 | hip contusion/sciatica | Crazy dreams. I mean over the top. Loopy. Not sure what is real and what is not. | Pain lessened but no gone. | M | 37 | 4 days 10mg 4X day | 11/9/2010 |
