| 5 | Thoracic surgery for collapsed lung | None? I got really sweaty but I think that was the morphine | This was the greatest. In the recovery room after the surgery they gave me 40 mg (I think, massive amounts of pain = hard to concentrate) of morphine and couldn't give me any more. That got me down from a ten to a... 7 maybe. Two shots of toradol got me down to a 2. Thank you toradol!! :) | M | 16 | 2 days | 5/21/2009 | 5 | migrane headaches/stress/tension | none,if maybe tired but they tell you, after you get this shot lie dowm, in a quite, dark room.. wich i fall a sleep | its great when all else fails, like the motrins, tylonal,tension relive haedaches didnt, we tried the shot of torodol.. it worked... so a factor of why you took the shot is probly a reson of your side effect, i went and reduced all stress by 62% and i feel better, not great but better, less frquent, and can do more. she also did some other checking before she gave me the Torodol, blood work, and then she asked if i we depressed. so may be if you too this and you were/ are depressed, or you took it becuse of stress, and your wondering why it came back, the awnsers are right in front of you stress is a major factor of MIGRANE, as soon as i have tryed all migrane tension headache and all else false i go to the doc. usully in a 24 hrs. | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/23/2009 | 1 | Migraine | I became very paranoid approximately 20 minutes after injection. I believed my husband was trying to kill me and became very anxious. | Toradol relieved my migraine for an hour or two, but then it came right back. I will never use it again as the side effects were very frightening. | F | 48 | 1 days | 4/20/2009 | 5 | Migraine | None at all. | Had the worse migraine of my life. No painkillers could touch it. Got a shot in my butt and the pain was gone within 10 minutes. I was so relieved! | F | 35 | 1 days | 4/11/2009 | 5 | recurrent severe kidney stone pain | Minor burning during injection and persistent soreness at injection site up to 72 hrs. This can be avoided if injected 1ml/1ml with Marcaine; a local anesthetic. | [These comments are regarding Toradol for injection, I have not personally found Toradol tablets to be effective for pain relief.] I first encountered Toradol years ago when hospitalized with my first migraine, 1 injection and the migraine was miraculously gone. Fast forward 20 years to 2009 and I am rushed to the ER with 10/10 flank pain, which turns out to be a kidney stone. Again I am given Toradol and the pain is almost gone within seconds. I am currently producing kidney stones like some sort of masochistic factory & both the ER and my urologist are very generous in offerring me Norco, Vocodin and Oxycodone. But I far prefer, and always request 30mg/ml Toradol for self injection. (Note: I am VERY needle phobic, that's how bad my pain is and how well this medication works when injected). It is the only thing that actually rids me of all the pain and leaves me functional so that I can still work and drive. It IS a drug with many side effects and must be taken under the close management of a physician. However, for those people whom are good candidates for it, like myself, it it a absolute godsend. My quality of life would be zero right now without it. | F | 43 | 6 months | 3/31/2009 | 5 | PAIN BECAME UNBEARABLE | no side effects | Spent last 20 years being misdiagnosed about a pain under my left breast that would radiate to under my armpit, up my arms and neck. Feels and symptom-wise, looks like a heart attack but isn't. Anyway pain became unbearable, went to ER, doctor said I have Tietze's syndrome, gave me Toradol injection. PAIN GONE IN 5 MINUTES! AMAZING, all these years trying all those other meds and this stuff worked in 5 minutes. I almost couldn't believe it. I have a new PAIN FREE life now. Haven't had the pain now in 5 months. Thanks to Dr. Paul Shen, ER, Huntington Beach, CA and the creators of this medicine. | M | 38 | 1 days | 3/6/2009 | 1 | Cluster headache | Nothing at all. It may as well have been saline. | I was given an injection for a severe headache and put on oxygen where I lied down in a dark room for about 15 minutes. My headache went away so I thought maybe it worked. As soon as I left the clinic and the sun hit my eyes, the headache came right back. Nubain works much better, but only if you do not regularly take other painkillers. | M | 23 | 1 days | 2/25/2009 | 5 | Carpul Tunnel | None | Worked wonderfully. Had full use of my hands for a change... Elbow, shoulders, arms, knees, it all worked again. I only took one 10 mg. My doc told me to take it 5 days get off of it a week and then I can take it 5 more. Repeating that cycle. Anyone else? The relief has lasted 24 hours for me. | F | 43 | 1 times | 2/13/2009 | 5 | Kidney stones | None | This drug works wonders for severe pain (IE My kidney stone!) and there is little if no risk for abuse like conventional opiates. | M | 26 | 1 days | 1/9/2009 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain/ Muscle Spasms | None | I have curvature of the spine and thoracic outlet syndrome. It causes alot of pain in my back, arms, and shoulders. I went to the ER and recieved a shot of Toradol and within minutes the level of pain decreased dramaticaly. | M | 25 | 1 days | 12/27/2008 | 5 | kidney stones | drowsiness | I went in tuesday night to the urgent care, having kidney stones before, I knew what the pain was coming from. So immediately I asked for toradol seeing as how that was the only thing that took care of the pain two years ago when I ended up in The ER. The pain was gone within 15 minutes. The following tuesday I ended up back in the urgent care only in worst pain than the previous tuesday. I had been in pain for 5 hours before going in. Asked for the shot and 15 minutes later, what do ya know? the pain was gone....5 HOURS OF PAIN GONE just from this drug. This drug is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone having kidney stone problems. | F | 23 | 2 times | 12/16/2008 | 2 | postviral migraine | dry mouth | This only took the edge off of my daughters refractory migraine. We tried it later and found it didn't really help. We found out later there were other meds they could have tried. | F | 8 | 3 days | 12/7/2008 | 5 | Miagraine | Drowsiness | I have been suffering from Migraines for years. I have taken both acute and preventitive meds, imitrex, axert, elavil, tramadol, ultracet, tylenol, etc. The older I get the worse my miagraines get, This is the 2nd time I have been given a Toradol shot in the last month. It is the greatest for me, gone withing 1 hour. | F | 34 | 2 times | 11/18/2008 | 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 | 1 | endometriol pain in the ER | Almost immediately after receiving shot I became extremely nauseaus and was give zofran, soon I was unable to breath properly,severly agitated and emotional, cold sweats, stomach cramps, feeling that I just needed to get out of that E.R. bed immediately. My husband found the student Dr. and told her and she came in with a large dose of benedryl and did not know why I didnt get it this time. This helped a great deal. the Dr. said that she always gives benadryl with toradol because of side effects. I do have asthma and do take celexa. | I do have asthma and do take celexa. These are just two of the interactions that should be considered before administrating toradol.I had also been give zofran before the toradol that day. I have heard that celexa, zofran, and many others meds can have really bad interactions with toradol. I have had a bad reaction with reglan before as well. | F | 26 | 1 days | 8/27/2008 | 5 | Pluerisy | Stinging at injection site for about 10 minutes. | This shot worked wonders for my sudden, very extreme chest pain. I've had Pluerisy once before (on the left side) and this episode was much worse and on my right side. The pain was very extreme and constant. The shot relieved my chest pain within about 10-15 minutes, before I left the Dr's office. | F | 43 | 1 days | 8/19/2008 | 5 | migraines | none | Excellent pain relief. All of my migraine symptoms were releaved almost instantly and I had no problems again for at least a week. Worked when nothing else did. | F | 33 | 2 times | 8/4/2008 | 4 | severe sunburn | soreness at the injection site about 24hrs from the time i received the shot (60mg)IV). no other physical or emotional side effects that's the main perk from this drug. | worked very well though a sunburn is a sunburn and this was a horrible one. so not much relief from anything. i was also give loratab/hydrocodone so the equal combination of both narcotic and non-narcotic, work miracles in treating pain. | F | 20 | 1 days | 7/16/2008 | 5 | surgery for a collapsed lung | NONE!!!! | I had never heard of this med until the pain settled in from the chest tube. I was given an IV of Demoral and oxycodone which was like licking a lollipop. I asked if there was anything else. Dr. sent toradol that was given through the IV. I had immediate relief! I was given more every 6 hours for several days. It also took away my nerve damage pain for about a week. When my nerve pain gets too bad, I think I'll ask for a script for this drug before I have another nerve block. The nerve block collapsed my lung in the first place! | F | 38 | 3 days | 6/20/2008 | 5 | migraine | none | this is wonderful, Had a migraine on saturday..take imitrex...didn't work...waited it out two days till monday, went to er and got shots of something else...was very tired ..came home and slept..woke up tuesday still with that migraine..so today thursday still had it in a lot of pain..for seven day..doc gave me a shot of toradol...five minutes migraine gone..love it..now something works without making me tired | F | 26 | 1 times | 5/30/2008 |
