| 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 | 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 | 3 | Migraine | Had this drug as as part of a migraine cocktail, administered in the ER. Was administered Compazine, Toradol and Benadryl, in that order. Minutes after the administration, I began to sense terrible dread, heart palpitations, and a weird "out of my skin" feeling. I wanted to sleep, but could not keep my eyes closed. Jerked terribly, as if I had Parkinson's or a seizure. I asked the doctor and he said the Compazine would give me convulsion-like side effects. After about an hour, the headache and "jerks" did ease off, and once I got home, I slept peacefully for 15 hours. Woke up pain free. Toradol was great, but could have done without the Compazine. | F | 31 | 1 times 1X day | 10/22/2010 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | severe and chronic migrane | Pain and burning at injection site as with any shot. Almost passed out about 20 min after shot took about two hours but finally got some releif from the pain. Tired and light headed but well worth it. | F | 26 | 1X day | 9/9/2010 | 5 | severe pain from kidney stone | No side effects whatsoever. No drowsiness, no "loopiness", aside from the sudden lack of pain, I felt as though I hadn't received any medication. | (NOTE: this was just MY experience; apparently others have had different)I was writhing in terrible pain and received a Toradol injection. Within 15 minutes, my pain was absolutely gone. I was told the shot would keep the pain away for six hours; I didn't feel pain again until the morning after (about 18(!!!) hours). This beautiful stuff is what I'm asking for if I get another stone in the future. | F | 21 | 1 days 1X day | 9/2/2010 | 5 | gallbladder removal | I experienced no side effects and it worked very well. | The surgery itself wasn't so much the cause of pain, it was the carbon dioxide that they used to expand the area...the excess traveled up to my should area and caused great pain. I couldn't lie flat on my back or on my right side for 10 days. | F | 48 | 7 days 30mg 3X day | 8/28/2010 | 5 | Migraine attack | Drowsiness | I had probably THE WORST migraine ever, and it lasted for 2 days. I am on Topamax to control it, and also Imitrex to take when I feel one coming on. I took Imitrex but it didn't even touch the migraine. I ended up going to the dr because I was throwing up and crying it hurt so bad. They gave me 2 shots, phenergen and Toradol. I must say, Toradol is THE BEST medicine for migraines, it took the pain away within 20 minutes. Made me tired but that was ok..migraine didn't come back either!! | F | 25 | 1 days 1X AN | 8/23/2010 | 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 | 1 | Migraine - hormonal | PAIN at injection site (butt) and then all down my leg and further for more than 11 hours after. WIRED ME... NOT DROWSY!! | Had a migraine for a week and a half. Went to the doc and they gave me the shot. DIDN"T HELP AT ALL!!! If anythign made me a little loopy. They said it was HIGHLY EFFECTIVE and would make me EXTREEMLY DROWSY.. Not drowsy but wired.. still with BAD migraine pain. Nothing's helping. Imitrex makes me shake, Maxalt makes my heart race, Topamx makes my face go knumb. They want to put me on Elavil as a preventative. Don't know if I'll start it. I don't want to be on an anti-depressant. Hope this helps. Glad for all the people it DID help. WHAT WILL HELP ME??? | F | 22 | 60 1X O | 6/18/2010 | 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 | rotator cuff injury with bone crack | None...had one hip shot and it was wonderful! Worked immediately and lasted for 3 days to minimize the pain! | F | 60 | 1 times 1X AN | 5/11/2010 | 5 | Rheumatoid Pluracy | NO SIDE EFFECTS -went to ER with intense chest pain with each breath -the pain was so great I didn't want to breath. The pain got worse if I lay flat -NO RELIEF just kill me! It was all gone about 30 seconds after I received the TORADOL injection. | I was told that the side effects on liver and kidneys could be severe however, with that much pain I'd risk it again. | M | 69 | 1 days 1X day | 5/7/2010 | 2 | Neck and shoulder pain/inflammation | Head and back felt as cold as ice a couple of days after injection. Side effects not worth the slow pain relief. | I have cervical disc problems which send pain radiating from my neck down into my shoulders. I was given intra-muscular injections of Toradol, two in the neck and two in the shoulders. Injection sites were a little sore, but that quickly went away. I had some amount of pain loss for the next few days because the inflammation was leaving. However after those first couple of days I had a stiff neck and shoulders, a lot of spasm, and felt uncomfortably cold on the inside, which was scary, even though my skin felt warm and the house thermostat read 79 degrees. There was no fever, and the residual pain left after a few days. Pain relief for me wasn't worth these uncomfortable side effects. | F | 55 | 1 days Not sure 1X day | 4/27/2010 | 1 | Broken ankle, ac bruise | None | Went to ER after motorcycle accident with 8/9 pain, ankle triple normal size and purple, severe shoulder pain, etc. No effect whatsoever. A shot of good tequila would have been better! | M | 47 | 1 days not sure 1X day | 4/27/2010 | 1 | JRA flair | None | Did nothing | F | 22 | 1 times IV 1X day | 4/19/2010 | 5 | severe migrane | I had zero side effects, just relief! | I've been given Toradol on two occasions, once through IV, for a kidney stone, and just three days ago via injection for a severe migrane, on both occasions my blood pressure was extremely high due to the pain. The IV Toradol was IMMEDIATE RELIEF, but the shot felt like forever, although it was actually only twenty minutes.During both of these episodes, I was completly unable to function, once I was given the Toradol, I felt great! No "druged" feelings, no diziness, just FREEDOM from the pain! | F | 52 | 1 days 1X day | 4/18/2010 | 2 | cronic migraine | none | just wouldn't get rid of headache. | F | 31 | 3 days 4X day | 4/18/2010 |
