"II have sciatica in both legs and lower back pain. I take toradol with fentanyl patches and morphine and the results are very good. Had back surgery 27 yrs ago...did NOT WORK. I have a terrible time, every day... Too bad I can't use toradol every day! If I could I would. 20 m.g and I'm in a good mood for 4 hrs."

"Recently ended up in the ER due to my first kidney stone. Had 4mg IV morphine, which made me not particularly care about the pain level, but didn't make the pain go away. After they made sure my kidneys were working, they dumped a dose of toradol into my IV and wow, no pain. The effect lasted a couple hours and I was discharged with oral toradol while waiting for the stone to move. The oral form is a bit less impressive, but still decent. Gotta be careful with this stuff since it can hit your kidneys pretty hard, but it was amazing for the stone."

"3 days ago I had a root canal treatment done. 24 hours later I felt like Mt. St. Helens was going to erupt in my jaw. They gave me Vicodin, no help. Antibiotics, no help. Stepped up to Dilaudid no help. Then Toradol it really took off the edge. With a Dilaudid the pain is very manageable for the first 4 hours of the 6 hour span till next dosage. The other two hours are still quite miserable. Many years ago I had a hysterectomy, they could not give me enough narcotics to control my pain, Demerol, morphine, fentanyl, then they gave me Toradol and it was an answer to prayers, with a narcotic added to it."

"From reading these I can see everyone is different. For me, on an IV drip, it completely eliminated the pain, gone. Taking pills after the Torodol wore off did nothing. Eventually threw them all up and went back to the ER."

"I have chronic pain every day with back problems and suffer migraines as well. I'm in pain management I do take opioids for my pain, but this morning terrible migraine 2 days in a row Dr got me in and gave me injection of toradol and instantly migraine gone and also helped with my back pain today. So from someone that takes pain meds and getting this injection I say wow Toradol does work!!!!!!!!"

"I have torn the cartilage in my ribs several times over the years from my cough variant asthma. It is agonizing and makes each breath painful which is not great for someone having an asthma exacerbation. The ER will only prescribe Toradol which not only does not work but gives me the worst stomach pain and bloating (which they think I’m making up for some reason). So I end up leaving the ER in more pain than when I arrived. It seems to be their go to because they don’t want to prescribe opioids but it just doesn’t work."

"I came into the ER a week-and-a-half ago with gallbladder-related symptoms, was given some Toradol, and this medication completely wiped out my pain. I was also given the same medication after my gallbladder was removed and had good pain relief postoperatively. Better than the narcotic meds, that's for sure!"

"I took three doses in a row and started getting migraine vision then the horrible headaches, but that wasn't all. I kept getting the vision coming and going for days until every trace of that medicine was out of my system. My daughter later told me that was the same medicine that she was given and it gave her terrible headaches too. That will be on my list of allergies from now on."

"Went to ER with severe flank pain, was given Toradol via my IV and it worked miracles -- pain went from an 8 to a 2 in about 15 minutes. Found out I had a couple kidney stones and was prescribed 10 mg tablets to take for several days. They barely worked at all, had to go back a couple days later with my pain just as bad and be prescribed something else. So, Toradol is GREAT when administered through an IV, not so good in pill form."

"Had full kidney stone blockage in ureter. The pain was so severe that neither Morphine or Dilaudid could handle it. When they added Toradol to the Dilaudid it knocked the pain out almost completely. I was told it only works in about 50% of the population. I was very glad that I'm in that 50%."

"I injured my back this weekend and endured the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. My lower back muscles cramped up so bad, I had ribs out, sharp pains, etc.. all at once. I went from fine to being in the floor in tears. The pain even got so bad that it made me sick twice. I finally went to the hospital yesterday because I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was in agony. After doing tests, they gave me a Toradol injection. I went from extremely heavy breathing and not even being able to talk or sit up from the pain being so bad to feeling back to normal in less than 10 minutes. It was like day and night. It was seriously a miracle and such a relief. I’m so grateful I was able to get this injection. I’m still recovering from my injury, but the inflammation went down so much and my chiropractor told me he doesn’t expect it to come back and said the Toradol really helped. I’m just so happy with this medication that I had to leave a review. I definitely recommend it!"

"I had come down with a very bad sinus infection that caused me to have a migraine like headache. It was extremely unbearable. So I had my spouse take me to the emergency room and the doctor gave me a shot in the rear and within seconds I felt immense relief. The next day the headache came back and after eight hours of dealing with it, I went back to the ER and got another shot. It was fabulous and it allowed me the ability to keep down my antibiotic so I could kick the sinus infection. I don't know why they don't make an injection pen for Migraine sufferers to keep around. Worked way faster than Imitrex ever did for me in the past."

"On 8/11/19 I was in a car accident. I was diagnosed with, Cervical Spine Sprain and Strain. Thoracic Spine Sprain, as well as a left hip strain. I’ve been to the ER twice. Along with the dr through my work as this accident happened while I was working. My second time in the ER was last night. They gave me IV Toradol, along with IV Valum. (I’m a cancer survivor so I’m also on Dilaudid and Gabapentin at home. I couldn’t get my pain under control with these medications.) I waited for my MRI and was in pain awful. Once this medication kicked in I was shocked at how well it worked!!! MRI revealed that everything else is okay. However the dr said my muscles and tendons etc were so tight!!! This medication helped so much that it’s now the next day and thankful my muscle spams have not come back! I’d ask for this medication anyway before pain meds for my back pain!"

"They always try to give me this when I have a migraine. It has never worked for my pain. They still make me try it before they will even consider giving me anything else. It is no better than 800mg of Advil or Cambia. And I can take that stuff at home without having to pay a copay! So frustrating that this is the first line of defence for a migraine that won’t go away."

"I end up in the ER at least twice a month with migraines so bad that I'm in tears and can't even hold water down because of the nausea from the migraine, and I am given this medicine every time I go in and it has never worked for me."

"I fractured my L1 vertebrae and got a Toradol injection at the urgent care - the doctor then gave me a three day supply of pills of Toradol 10 mg three times a day - it really did nothing to relieve my pain. I’m going to the orthopedic spine doctor tomorrow and hopefully he can prescribe something that will relieve the pain until the fracture heals"

"Got injection at ER for migraine. Worked fast and took the edge off the pain. The worst part was the actual shot, intense pressure and burning for about 15 mins due to it being injected into muscle. I'll probably be sore for a few days.. otherwise effective, fast acting medicine."

"Ketorolac (toradol) is the ONLY medicine that provides me relief during a fit of migraines. It doesn't relieve physical body pain such as sore muscles, in my back or neck area however it relieves almost all of my migraine related pain and symptoms. For example: when I get migraines my neck will start to hurt, my eyes will go crazy, I'll get tunnel vision and specs everywhere and eventually it goes into a full blur, I get disorientated (not dizzy) very confused and slow... I can't focus because of the throbbing feeling under my skull and eventually I get sick and throw up. Ketorolac will help with all of those symptoms and make them disappear except for the neck pain. I will be feeling clear headed, have my vision back, no pressure in skull."

"Severe arthritis in my breastbone, spine, both knees, left ankle and neck! Went to the ER after almost a week of pains in my chest, was given an injection! It burned at first but afterwards no pain, but felt a little sick on the stomach later!"

"I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) but currently have an infected tooth. (Tooth pain is the worst pain possible imo) Pain so bad, beats per minute was 168. Went to ER, Dr rx Toradol. Never had it as am allergic to NSAIDS. (not even sure if its ok for me?) A few minutes after it was administrated via IV, I started having a severe headache along with pain down my neck. It did absolutely nothing to lower the excruciating tooth pain either. I'm on long term pain meds for my EDS (10+ years) I assumed my meds weren't working due to the bad infection. Was sent home from ER in worse pain. Later began having constant severe upper stomach pain after I got home. The horrible effects lasted hours. Finally took one of my normal pain meds in the evening, and it alleviated the headache & stomach pain, plus also somehow still worked 1000 times better for my tooth than Toradol. Doctors can do better but they are scared."

"I suffer from chronic migraines. More than 15 days a month of constant pain where more than 4 days are full on migraines. .Toradol is one of the drugs in a cocktail I take through IV all at once. Combined with the other drugs it is amazing..alone Toradol, even if I wait the 1 hour, has not successfully reduced my migraines."

"I am 30 years old. I had a multiple composite spinal injuries 15 years ago. The aches and pains unbearable. I started taking anti-inflammatories about 2 years ago. I started getting injections every month of Toradol and "Depo" something. I am almost off all pain meds I mean I still have bad days but I can function again."

"The injection hurt, was a very big sting and burning sensation, I was hoping for relief sooner and longer but it did neither. I got the shot about 4 pm, was able to move my arm without pain about 5 pm and was back to hurting before 6 pm."

"2-day migraine, ended up in urgent care. Wanted Vicodin they ended up giving me a shot of this. Waited 10 minutes for signs of allergic reaction. Pain was reduced although not gone. Left urgent care. 30 minutes later full blown allergic reaction, swelling of face. My experience, this med is not nearly as good as vicodin. Allergic reaction for me marks this as never again."

"Just had Toradol injection for very painful wrist tendinitis. My belly is killing me. Can't tell if my wrist is better because all I can concentrate on us my tummy pain. I am not sure it isn't worse than my wrist pain is/was. Gosh I hope this stops soon!"
