| 5 | Kidney Stone | No side effects. | I was in intense pain for 4 days, trying to gut out the kidney stone pain. I don't like to take narcotics or pain relievers because they really mess up my head. I was out of pain in 5 minutes and it lasted for 8 hours. | M | 45 | 1 days 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 1 | I felt like I had been drinking for hours "loopy" for a better choice of words ! | I was admited to the hospital with lose of power and pain and numbness in my left shoulder they gave me an injection of this medication through my IV and I imediatly went downstairs for a cig when I was done and tried to go back to my room I could not walk straigt and I felt like I was drunk. When I returned to my room I imediatly feel asleep never to take it again. Nurses on duty said that they had never seen anyone react this way but I know how I felt ! It also made my blood pressure crash lower than ever and made me sweaty and out of it ! | M | 37 | 1 days shoulder 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 1 | pain in knee | i went to my primary doctor Dec 1/09 for pain in my knee im an astamtic and allergic to asprirn.Toradol has aspirin in it i had to go to Hospital i suffered a severe asthma attack that almost too my life from the toradol injection i was in ICU from Dec.1 until Dec 3 /09 my doctor of 8 years knew very well im allergic to asprirn.Toradol almost killed me Thank God im alive to be telling my story. | bad medicine almost killed me! | F | 45 | 1 days shot 1X day | 3/20/2010 Patient History | 2 | Kidney Stones Pain | Pain relief for kidney pain but bad effects | Took one pill ever 6 hrs for 24 hours. I became very talkative. After taking the 2nd pill started to notice some pain relief but by the 3rd I was having a feeling out of reality. By the time the 4th pill had been in my system a couple hours I had tightness in chest, shallow breathing and I spent the rest of the day on a 'bad acid trip' with paranoid feelings. It was horrible. Works great for pain but would rather have pain than to feel like that...will never take again. | M | 38 | 1 days 10mg 4X day | 3/13/2010 | 5 | Extreme kidney pain | I immediately became disroiented and loopy, didn't recognize my husband or son, speech was very slurred, then I slept ;) | It worked amazingly well. My pain was off the richter scale, but within mins of the drug hitting the IV I was pain free. I would take it again in a heartbeat for that kind of pain! | F | 47 | 1 times 1X O | 2/28/2010 | 5 | recovering from back surgery | none | Toradol gave me great pain relief after back surgery. I received it through my IV and did not require any other medicines to control pain while in the hospital. When I got home and was no longer getting Toradol, I was hurting. This stuff was like ibuprophen and naproxen put together times 100. | F | 42 | 2 days | 1/24/2010 | 5 | surgery | NO SIDE EFFECTS | THIS SHOT WORKED WHEN THE MORPHINE DIDN'T | F | 48 | 1 days | 1/4/2010 | 1 | Back and stomach pain | the first injection was given to me though iv so no side effects but second trip to the urgent care it was given to me in my hip and it stung alot and its been a week and the spot still hurts | I was also given a perscription of it to take home w/me for my pain after the second trip to the E.R. It did not help my pain at all. I might as well have just not taken anything. I still have lots of back pain and stomach pain and not sure if its from the toradol or from the depo shot..I dont reccomend this medication. Its a waste of ur time and money. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! | F | 24 | 8 days | 1/3/2010 | 1 | Back Pain | None | The injection did nothing for my pain. | M | 46 | 2 days | 12/15/2009 | 2 | Severe lower back pain | None | It only helped me for about the hour I was laying in the hospital bed before I got released. Once I got up and started walking my back was hurting so bad, I didn't even want to make it out to the car, but as soon as I got to the car and sat down, I was fine. | F | 22 | 1 times | 12/13/2009 | 5 | Migrain | None | Taken it before and helped ease and break my migrain when nothing else helped | F | 32 | 1 times | 12/7/2009 | 5 | Back pain and spasm | Mild indigestion. Some tiredness but it passed. On the morning of the day after the shot I could tie my shoes. Something I couldn't do the day before without falling on the floor in agony. Unfortunately the effect wore off in 24 hours and I was put on the Medrol pack. I have had these shots twice in the past and they always have offered relief. | I wish I could get a shot of Toradol every day. This worked much better then the Medrol pack as far as controlling the pain. So sad the side effects are to severe to use long term. | F | 45 | 1 days | 11/9/2009 | 5 | Rotator cuff impingement/tendonitis | None- just pain relief | Great pain med. Hard on stomach, but for short term use is much better than vicodin or darvocet for pain relief and swelling associated with my RTC tendonitis flare ups. | F | 46 | 5 days | 11/5/2009 | 2 | migraine | F | 45 | 10 days | 10/18/2009 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | None | When ever i get a bad flair up, i go to get a shot, which is maybe 2 or 3 times a year. My Dr. told me to quit waiting so long to get relief,once a flair begins. This is just an anti-inflamatory/pain medication. I have never taken it, in the pill form. | F | 53 | 1 times | 9/11/2009 | 3 | chest pain | I noticed that since taking toradol, I've had unbearable back pain usually right after I take the toradol pill. I am not sure if it is gas but it hurts really bad.However, it helped my chest pain. Not sure what caused the back pain. | F | 39 | 5 days | 8/15/2009 | 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 | 5 | Migraines | I didn't have any side effects | I've had this twice for my migraines. I ended up at the ER they gave me this along with others. This works great if you ever need it this is what they gave me. IV Fluids, Benadryl, Toradol, and Reglan...I call this my "headache cocktail" It works great, especially when you have a horrible migraine attack | F | 23 | 2 times | 7/20/2009 | 1 | Cluster headache | Stinging at injection site for about 20 minutes. The most pain I've ever experienced in my life. | After an hour or so, headache pain subsided for a few minutes and then returned just as severe. | F | 35 | 1 times | 7/15/2009 | 5 | Severe back spasms (chronic) | I've had probably a dozen injections from 2000-2009, and I've never had any type of side effect that I could link to Toradol. | I have all sorts of problems with my back due to degenerative disk disease, which causes constant inflammation and pain as well as occasional muscle spasms. When I am hit with spasms, they encompass all major muscle groups in my back, neck, shoulders, all the way down to my glutes (sometimes with significant nerve pain/numbness/tingling/etc.). Toradol injections have always knocked the spasms down from a 10 to a 4-6 within an hour or two. Percocet and Soma usually take care of the rest, but NOTHING has knocked down the pain and inflammation as quickly as Toradol. Not experiencing any side-effects from it is a plus, too. | M | 36 | 12 times | 6/9/2009 |
