| 5 | Headaches | The worse constant throbbing head pain in my entire life (I am 40 with no history of headaches) | Day 6 and after 2 doctors visits, advil, tylenol, fiorcet, imitrex nothing seemed to work. Went to ER (on Doc's suggestion) they gave me percocet, which didn't make the pain go away, but I didn't care about it. Then came the IV of Toradol with benedryl & reglan - slept like a baby for an hour, Doc woke me up and NO PAIN - this is super drug, felt like a brand new person. Went home, slept the nite away and am back at work today - not 100% but 1000% better than I was at this time yesterday. I am not a pill taker, but damn this stuff is good. | F | 40 | 1 times | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Headaches | NONE - didn't get the worse constant throbbing headache - I didn't read the box correctly - thought it said WHY YOU WERE taking it. | Ooops didn't read this very well - but I loved this drug.... day 6 after 2 doc visits...blah blah blah... | F | 40 | 1 times | 2/16/2007 | 1 | Headache | No side effects | No effect on headache either | M | 50 | 3 days | 12/16/2006 | 5 | 2 Thoracic Compression Fractures | None | Miracle drug ...pain relief in 5-10 minutes and can last for weeks to months.

Not considered an addtive drg | Are there any controlled test for Toradol and possible kidney injuries from long term, low usage use? Does anyone have information that Toradol causes internal injuries from careful long term use??? I cannot find anything. I've used it a long time with no prob. Need to be careful with stomach. Eat blanch food for 3 days after shot. Do not over use Toradol. Save for real NEED. Great Drug, given me my life back. | F | 56 | 7 years | 11/5/2006 | 2 | migraine | Severe allerigc reaction. I could not breathe at all while taking this, it was a worse feeling than the migraine was. I had profuse sweating and stomach cramps. I have asthma and the doctors blew me off when I was said I couldn't breathe. I really meant it. | Worked wonders for the migraine, but do not take this if you have asthma. Don't chance it. The not being able to breath lasted for hours and hours. | F | 31 | 1 times | 9/17/2006 | 1 | Stomach Pain | Sweating, Severe Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea | F | 18 | | 9/16/2006 | 5 | Back and Neck Pain | None noticed | It took away my pain quickly and I was able to get through the last holidays while entertaining and cooking for almost 50 people. Without the shot, I'm not sure what I would have done! I have severe neck and back pain again and will be injected tomorrow. This is only the 4th time I've had a shot, but if you need pain relief fast...I recommend it! | F | 44 | 3 days | 7/31/2006 | 5 | Pain relief from dressing change | No unpleasant side effects so far. | I have a second degree burn about 30 inches long and as much as 10 inches wide on the outside of my right leg from an industrial accident. The dressing is being changed every day and I am in severe pain. I was set up on a Toradol drip for the my dressing change on the fourth day and it controlled the pain for about 20 hours. The next day a lot of dead skin was removed from my leg so the pain was a lot worse. The Toradol helped, but not as much as the first treatment. | M | 51 | 2 days | 7/26/2006 | 5 | herniated dis on neck and lower bac | dry mouth | it is my second time by injection , i was in a lot of pain this med help com the pain . it work for me | F | 51 | | 7/17/2006 | 1 | Toradol Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 1 | headache | Night sweats, dizziness, severe abdominal cramping and chest pain (due to inflammation of the esophagus). I've had moderate cramping and burning pain in these areas since the medication was stopped 3 days ago. My appetite is almost non-existent; Eating is forced and my stomach starts cramping about 5 minutes after the first bite of food. | I ended up in the hospital with some sort of virus... the resident ordered IV administered toradol every 6 hours for an accompanying headache. It only worked for about 2 hours per dose before the headache returned, and about 30 minutes after the 6th dose I started having something akin to spasms in my stomach and chest. I felt like every major organ in my abdominal cavity had exploded. The initial episode lasted for about 7 hours before the pain subsided to the point where I could even sit up without triggering another spasm. They discontinued the injections and I was discharged yesterday (I was going to leave AMA but the head physician felt sorry for me and offered to sign the papers.) I still feel like someone took a sledge hammer to my stomach, but I've been taking pepsid and prilosec to try and stave it off to an extent. I'm just hoping that this hasn't done any permanent damage. I hate medicine in general, but I'd have to be crazy or incompetent to even consider taking this stuff | F | 19 | 6 times | 5/22/2006 | 5 | Oral extractions | Due to sphincture of odie spasms (caused by gallbladder removal 20 years ago) I am unable to take any type of pain meds until I discovered Toradol....This med is great....No added pain in bile duct area. | F | 64 | 2 days | 5/3/2006 | 5 | Pelvic Pain/Fibroids/Endometriosis | Minimal side effects of dry mouth, sleepiness, hungry, slightly dizzy, and very thirsty. Nothing when compared to the side effects of the other drugs I've tried! | I have endometriosis coupled with a few large fibroids. Needless to say I have severe pelvic pain especially during those times of the month I bleed HEAVILY. I've tried darvicet, percicet, Ibpr 800, and Tylenol with codeine... with absolutly NO relief! I was given a script of 20 pills for 10mg of Toradol by an ER doctor and with 30 mins of taking ONE, I was pain free for 12 hours!! Only 10mg of Toradol 2 times a day and I can breath! Tramadol comes close but doesn't last as long nor act as quick. Just wanted other women to know about this miracle drug! | F | 36 | 3 days | 2/21/2006 | 4 | Back and Leg Pain from my Back | When I would urinate I think I was finished before I was finished. I dont know if that side effect came from the shot, but it was right after I got the shot. | I have had 4 shots over the past 8 months. I felt no immediate relief with the shit. It took about 3 days to take effect. Then, it would only last about 7 days after I got the shot. Just like clock work the pain is back. When I get a lot of pain in my lower back I get leg pain in both legs. I hope to have surgery soon to correct the problem, but toradol really helps; for a week or so. | M | 36 | 8 months | 2/14/2006 | 3 | Migraine | Stomach cramps with the feeling of diarrhea, but was constipated | I had had a migraine for 8 days. I was taking two other pain medications as prescribed by my doctor 4 pills 4 times per day. It made me sleep, but when I awoke, the pain was back. I could not take another day of it. I visited my doctor and was given an injection of Toradol. The dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and the headache was gone within 10 minutes. It was wonderful. The next day it was back. I am at a loss. I am now on day eleven of the migraine. It is not as bad as it was, but I am still looking for total relief. | F | 29 | 1 days | 2/5/2006 | 5 | Surgery, other | I cannot take Morphine or Demerol (found out the hard way), so this was my only other alternative. It very works well, but not as well as the other two described above as it wears off earlier. | The only concern I have is that prolonged use can lead to kidney damage which was why I was taking it in the first place. As long as amount and duration is monitered, I would highly recommend Toradol. | F | 28 | | 2/3/2006 | 1 | Sever back pain | Sever vomiting of blood,chest pain,chills | Was given injection of toradol in er because i was in severe pain. i have three buldging disc in my back and had lost all feeling in my right arm and leg.Soon after I broke out in a cold sweat and became very nauseated,after going home I began throwing up blood perfusly and was taken to the emergency room were I stayed over night.I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN!!!! | F | 39 | 1 times | 1/19/2006 | 1 | Inflammatory cartilage pain | Felt like I was "high" - things didn't make sense to me, I was lifting my feet several feet in the air while walking, etc. Just completely "out of it." | Given as a shot to ease inflammatory cartilage pain (in addition to prescriptions to many other NSAIDs). Later found out through my own research that the NSAIDs actually further damage the cartilage. Sure, Toradol eased my pain for about three hours, but that was it. Never again! I'm on herbal anti-inflammatories now and feel "normal" again and my pain level continues to decrease! | F | 28 | 1 days | 9/17/2005 | 1 | Headache Relief | Dizziness, Red & Itchy Skin, Fever, Drowsiness, Flushing, Nervousness | Doesn't relieve the headaches for more than 2 hours. | F | 18 | 6 days | 9/5/2005 |
