| 1 | sciatica | injection given yesterday for sciatica pain. This provided absolutely no relief. | F | 59 | 1 days 60 mg 1X day | 3/11/2015 | 1 | Back pain | Had one shot for back strain in my primary care physicians office. It was like they gave me a shot of nothing :( shot burned more than anything! Very dissatisfied!!! | F | 33 | 1 times | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Severe back pain | Worst stomach pain I have ever experienced in my life. It started a few hours after my injection and I still have the pain now, 30 hours after the injection. Also, did not help my back pain. | After reading more about the experiences others had (not just the side effects label) I would not advise taking this medicine. My was an IM shot. | M | 50 | 1 days 15MG 1X day | 12/19/2014 | 5 | Migraine | Slight drowsiness, but that could have been from the 42 hours of pain disappearing and that it was 4am. | I have had migraines and back pain since a bad car accident in 2003. I have had all kinds of shots and pills prescribed, but nothing has done it like the last time I went to the ER. I sat in the waiting room, alternately vomiting and blacking out, for five hours, went back, and dr. gave a shot right away. The initial injection hurt, but the site did not continue to hurt. Within 10minutes, I had fallen asleep -- NOT passed out. I was able to sleep for about half an hour before the doctor woke me, and I was completely fine to drive the half hour home. | F | 30 | ER Injecti 1X day | 11/20/2014 | 1 | hurt hip | Worst stomache pain ever | Took it last night for my pain within minutes i was in the worst pain of my life with terrible diarrea. I am now in the ER 10 hours later still in the same pain. | F | 34 | 1 days | 11/19/2014 | 5 | Chronic Migraine | My primary physician gave me the shot for chronic migraines and it is a GOD send I have no side effects it relieves my pain and helps me alot I have had this type of shot about once every 6 months. | F | 55 | 1 days na 1X day | 11/12/2014 | 5 | Migraines/ shot in ER | None | Took my migraine away, just like that. It was awesome | 36 | 1 days 40 mg | 11/10/2014 | 5 | Ear infection - severe pain | I had some nausea. I had the shot at the urgent care due to unbearable pain in my ears due to pressure. The shot was a miracle. My pain went from 9 to 2 in thirty minutes. I got antibiotics and a bottle of 10 mg of toradol tablets to take every 6 hrs or as needed. I took one tablet the first day after the shot started to wear off. I took one tablet on day 2. On both days the pill caused some nausea. I will only take ghem as needed. Hopefully the infection will go away and i dont have to take another pill. I dont like taking drugs. Some of the other reviews are scary. | F | 50 | 2 days 30 mg shot | 10/29/2014 | 5 | Chronic migraines | Upset stomach and pain where the needle was...nothing all all worth complaining about...just saying...I slept for 15 hours...sleep felt great! | 1 Toradol shot and migraines stopped...its been a month, no migraine! WHY are the doctors forcing all these pills down everyone's throat when 1 shot can give total relief??? Its not depression, anxiety or blood pressure...its PAIN... horrible brain pain and Toradol stops that pain...10 minutes after the shot I had my life back...pain free!!! Thank GOD for Toradol...and its not addicting...like all the other medicine the doctors tell you to take! Its medicine that WORKS! | M | 17 | 1 times 60 mg shot 1X day | 10/19/2014 | 1 | knee surgery | In the preop interview I told the anethesiologist that Toradol caused severe GI bleeding when I was given it in the past....unfortunately the anesthesiologist did not communicate this fact to the nurse (CRNA) who was actually doing my anesthesia (a nurse not an MD)....So I got toradol post op when I was in severe pain; I tried to refuse this drug but got it anyway....and I bled like a stuck pig...imagine vomiting huge blood clots and being admitted because your anesthetist/nurse gave you a drug that you were clearly allergic to.....the anesthesiologist told me that "she's just a nurse(CRNA) and that you can't expect her to know the allergies/ect.....what a load of crap....the anesthesiologist never told the crna of my toradol problem and basically lied about telling her...I will never consent to the so-called "anesthesia care team"...I want a single provider to perform any and all anesthesia and anesthesia-related care..I will not consent to anesthesiologist/care.. I ju | terrible drug that almost caused me to bleed out | F | 1 days 60 1X day | 9/8/2014 | 1 | Ear pain | This is one of the worst drugs ever. It had so many side effects; I was better off having the pain than taking this drug for relief. The drug did give pain relief right away. That day night I had the drug I had slight temperatures increase and back pain but subsided the next day morning. For next 3 days I lost my appetite and had stomach blotting. I literally ate nothing for 2 days and third day had to force feed myself. Also had some stomach cramps. I had un-quenching thirst and dry mouth. I get up in the middle of night several times to drink water. It is a horrible drug. I want to scream at my doctor for prescribing it to me | Avoid this drug like a plague | M | 33 | 1 days 60Mg 1X day | 8/23/2014 | 5 | Wisdom tooth infection/toothache | If I take more than one in a day, I feel tired and a little loopy. Much better than being in horrible pain. | I was given the pills. They are miracle workers. It takes 20-30 minutes to kick in, but when it does I have instant relief. It takes the intense pain from a 10 to a 1 or 2. | F | 23 | 5 days 10 MG 4X day | 7/25/2014 | 5 | strep throat/relieve pain &swelling | I experienced no side effects at all. After the shot was given, I did have a burning/achy sensation for a moment but that was all. | F | 30 | 1 days | 7/8/2014 | 1 | bruised tailbone | Stomach pain, severe headache since being given injection (2 1/2 days ago), swelling in hands, legs, ankles. Already had a perforated colon 2 years ago, after reading side effects, ready to scream at my doc. What was she thinking???? | F | 46 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 6/7/2014 | 5 | menstrual cramps | No side effects just wondering does anyone know if this drug will effect the kidneys by taking 2 10mg tablets a month. It is a God sent for chronic menstrual cramps | F | 38 | 2 days 30 | 6/4/2014 | 1 | kidney stone | I was given a shot in the hospital for kidney stone pain and left with a prescription for 18 pills, one to be taken every 6 hours. It took twenty minutes for the initial toradol dose to kick in. I didn't notice anything at first. After each dose was wearing off I began to notice a headache and nausea and dizziness building. A bright red menstrual flow began, off schedule. I finally felt bad enough from the medication that I ceased taking it on the third day. Then I experienced a killer migraine, nausea and vomiting (couldn't eat) low grade fever, hot and cold chills, dizziness. This lasted about 30 hours. If I could have driven myself to the hospital I might have gone. I will never take this again. The four warning sheets that came with the prescription should have been my clue. It isn't worth the risk of taking in my opinion. | F | 50 | 3 days 10 mg | 6/3/2014 | 1 | sinus pain | I keep getting this in the ER when I've been honest about where my pain is and that it is not migraine related. But doctors insist on trying it. I think for migraine sufferers it must be wonderful because I've been given this several times and it doesn't affect the area I hurt in- I let them do what they think is best, but the opiate is the only thing I respond to. | M | 36 | 2 days shot | 5/2/2014 | 1 | Kidney Stone | None | This seems to be the initial goto in the ER for kidney stones, (which I get with sad regularity), but it seems to have no effect whatsoever on me, so I get another 20-60 minutes of pain while they figure this out and give me something that works (one of the opiates). I don't dare ask for opiates though because the last thing you want is to get labelled as a "seeker". | 1 days ? 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 1 | migraine | Stomach pain, nauseous, feel worse now then I did with added symptoms. | F | 33 | 1 days | 4/23/2014 | 4 | Migraine | Diarrhea the next morning | F | 46 | 1 days | 4/13/2014 |
