"I had knee replacement surgery and was given a Hydrocodone combination along with a Ketorolac prescription after leaving the hospital. It worked better on my pain than the opioids prescribed. I did not have any side effects. Wonderful drug."

"Got Toradol for a broken wisdom tooth and it did absolutely nothing but make the pain triple and start radiating the pain in the abscess and through my ear and down my lymph node. It bent me over in pain. I had to broken wrist same time and this abscess hurts worse than that. It is the worse pain ever. My wrist hurt when put back in place and I was fine, this pain doesn't stop just because of some junk Toradol. The worse thing I've ever had for pain."

Toradol (ketorolac) "I had a total knee replacement about 18 hours ago. They did a pain block which worked great, until the last 4-5 hours. Now they are giving me Toradol with 3 OTC Tylenol. With the block now wearing off, the Toradol is not working at all. It just doesn’t work on me. I’m in misery."

Toradol (ketorolac) "I had foot surgery. They gave me Toradol in my IV at the time of the surgery. My foot was slightly sore still, but it helped my arthritis so much I was shocked the pain in my knuckles was completely gone. I have been dealing with this pain for 3 weeks. Day 2 and pain is still gone."
