 5  Shoulder surgery Drowsiness and slight itchiness. Toradol is amazing! It works very well – even better and longer than the vicodin that I was also prescribed. Too bad you can’t take it for more than 5 days before it kills you. I only experienced 2 small side effects. Drowsiness: Within 30 minutes of taking it I knew I would be down for a nap for at least an hour. It also made my face tickle. Not really an itch but enough that I wanted to touch my face to make it stop. I had no hives associated with the tickles. M 38 3 days

 5  severe tibial plateau fx w/surgery drowsiness with both injection and oral. This is really an amazing pain killer if you can tolerate it. I was given morphine and demerol in the hospital and neither of these touched my pain like the IM of Toradol. Within minutes of the injection, the pain was gone. The oral form works too, however I vomited if I didn't eat enough before taking it. I also noticed that after a few days I became more emotional---depressed--which I'm not prone to. F 41 5 days

 2  Post Surgery Hyperactive * Jittery feeling *Itching * Restlessness * Heart Racing * Shallow breathing * Fluid Retention * Torodol was doing a great job of keeping the post surgical pain at bay, but I was unable to get any rest and felt like I was on speed or a whole day caffenine high. I was on it for less than 2 days. I can tell a difference since my last dose was about 12 hours ago, the side effects seem to have eased up a little but unfortuantely the pain is becoming much more obvious. The side effects outweighed the pain relief. F 53 1.5 days

 3  carpal tunnel about 1/2 hour after taking it I felt a little bit light headed and tired. I was fine one minute and then it hit all at once while I was on my way home and I started walking really slowly and had to just stop for a couple of minutes but then I was fine just a little sleepy. I did not really feel complete relief from pain until 2 days after shot and complete lack of use of my wrist, but it definately took the edge off. F 38 1 times

 5  stage IV endometriosis with nerve p weakness and pain in arm after shot (to be expected), drowsiness, cold sweat for about 20 mins- maybe due to adreneline- I HATE NEEDLES, general sense of heaviness that I get with all painkillers IM injection. This stuff is great. 4 hours after my shot, I am sitting at work, pleasantly disoriented but still able to do my job. Terrible stabbing pain has gone to just a whisper, a twinge- and I don't even care about it. Will probably last for a few days. I was taking Darvocets like candy for the past three days- this blows everything else out of the water. Second time I've gotten this shot- I will continue to save for real emergencies. F 29 2 times

 4  Cluster Headaches It knocks me out, which is nice if I take it before bed. It gives me a metallic taste in my mouth and a mild migraine. Ive had a little burning in my chest and some fluttering. This works faster and efficiently! When my headaches are a 10 on the scale, this is my miracle drug! F 32 3 months

 3  Migraine It made me sleepy, and as an advrese side affect I had short muscle spasms on the right side of my body for about the first 2 1/2 hours. I had had what I thought was a migraine for over a week. I was given Maxalt (a disolvable form of Imitrex), which made me sick and therefore made my headache much worse. So I went to see my regular DR she gave me a shot of phenogren for the headache and a shot of another drug for the nausea. Well, needless to say because phenogren affects the nerves it did me no good. Four days later because I still could not get rid of my 'migraine', I went to see another DR who gave me a shot of Toradol (a muscle relaxant). He told me that the pain was more than likely caused due to the muscles in my head contracting and spasming and not relaxing. He said I should feel the affects within 20 min. Unfortunately, I was not feeling any relief until I woke up from a 5 hour nap. I still had a little pain, but it was bearable, and I was happy. F 20 1 days

 5  pre and post op kidney stones None! This stuff is better than any narcotic given for kidney/ureter pain. This will almost totally cure my 10/10 pain whether it is from a kidney stone, post op stent pain or blood clot blockage. I have chronic cystine kidney stones and this works every time. F 31 2 days

 5  severe abdomen pain drowsiness I had debilitating abdominal pain, and at the hospital they gave me this by IV. It really helped, my pain is almost gone, and other than falling asleep and snoring so loud I woke myself up in the emergency room, I had no other side effects so far. I was administered this drug about 5 hours ago. F 26 1 times

 5  Migraines Euporia, along with a tendency to be hyper-talkative. I have read that this is one of the more unusual and rare side effects. Then again, that may only have been caused by the exquisite sensation of complete pain relief. I had been on Inderal for prevention of migraines - didn't work. Doctor switched me to Verapamil for prevention - didn't work. Had tried Imitrex, Relpax, and Maxalt, only to have migraines rebound after a short period of time. I was in the doctor's office for another problem, and fainted. When I came to, I mentioned that the fainting was probably due to my severe migraine. Doctor gave me a shot of Toradol, and within 10 minutes all migraine symptoms were completely gone. I am allergic to opiates/opioids (as well as having other allergies and asthma) and several other medications, so I assumed my treatment options were limited. My migraines are menstrual-linked, and I ususally have them all during the week before I start my period. The Toradol injection completely did away with that; I was migraine-free for the rest of the week. This drug is the best thing since sliced bread. Next time I have a migraine, I will be at the doctor's getting shot up. F 37 1 times

 5  post-surgical pain-foot surgery Some lower abdominal cramping with slight change in BM after second day on this med. 10 mg. every 12 hours Excellent pain relief after surgery that required a lot of bone removal from a big toe that was fused with severe bone spurring. The surgeon commented that bone damage was much worse than he expected. I had total pain relief of all other body aches including disc degeneration of neck and lumbar region. I did not realize how much constant discomfort I am in until I had to stop the Toradol after 2 days. I then was aware that I have become accustomed to a great deal of chronic pain...but I had 2 wonderful days and now better appreciate my usual pain level. F 44 2 days

 5  Severe Throat Pain-Severe Sinus Inf none I had a sore throat like you wouldn't believe...couldn't swallow, sleep or even talk..doctor prescribed Toradol 10MG and I couldn't believe it! The pain was GONE - I had taken a couple of different pain pills that just took the edge off enough for me to have a little relief, but Toradol just took ALL the pain away. I absolutely think it is a wonderful drug and would recommend it to anyone that is experiencing pain.... F 51 2 days

 5  Kidney Stones Severe side, flank and back pain and pressure I had a kidney stone and I was in so much pain I was throwing up and screaming. The doc at the ER gave me Demerol and finnigin. This did not touch the pain. About a hour later he put a IV in me and injected Demerol through that. Still, I was in terrible pain. I slept for five minutes and wolk up screaming. Finally, my mom, who has also had Kidney Stones ask that I be given toradol. Within thirty minutes of the shot I was totally out of pain. My urologist said that he did not understand why I was not given this in the first place because Toradol works wonders on kidney stones. F 27 2 days

 5  Headaches None I do self-injections of Toradol 30 mg. Toradol works quite rapidly for my throbbing headaches and I don't seem to suffer the stomach upset that oral anti-inflammatories cause me. As soon as Toradol is injected, I can feel the medication working rather quickly. Self-injections save me trips to my local Emergency Room and I can begin headache treatment immediately at home instead of waiting hours (with pain) in the ER. I use the Toradol injections wisely and limit my injections as instructed to avoid kidney reactions, etc. F 2 months

 5  Kidney Stones Slight naseua, made me extremely tired. This drug was a Godsend when I was delivered to the ER for Kidney Stones. I couldn't sit, stand or talk, and they gave me an IV of this stuff and within moments the pain was gone. They say it works miracles for people going through kidney stone passage. M 32 1 days

 5  Migraine None I had a severe migraine for 6 days. Tried Relpax would take it away for a couple of hours but then headache was back. One shot of Toradol and 5 minutes later the headache was gone! It broke the cycle and it hasn't returned!! F 35 1 days
