"Toradol has literally been a lifesaver! I have Cervical Dystonia, which gives me really bad migraines. Toradol usually will take my entire migraine away, and if it doesn't, it makes it manageable.It doesn't make me sick to my stomach, and it doesn't make me too drowsy, I'm able to drive home afterwards. The only bad thing about it is that I usually have pain around the injection site that lasts for a long while, but it hardly compares to the pain of the headache I had before it!"

"I frequently suffer from Kidney Stones that ultimately pass. Christmas Eve I was hit with the worse back pain ever and my urine output was bright red blood. I was at the E.R within 30 minutes. I went through triage and they immediately gave me a shot of Toradol. Within 10 minutes the pain reduced to a very manageable “2.” A CAT-scan confirmed a 17.8 x 12.2 triangular stone that no way would pass. It was stuck at the urethra junction reducing my flow. No Urologist was available so they gave me another shot and sent me home with a prescription for five days. I reached a Urologist the day after Christmas and was immediately scheduled for surgery. Toradol kept me sane and able to focus for the three days. I dislike Opiates and would never accept Fentanyl or Morphine (which have both been offered in the past.)"

"They gave me this drug for a pulled muscle in my back, it helped with the pain, but the side effects were not worth it, terrible stomach pain, burning in my stomach, belching, bloating, 3 days since the injection, and my stomach is still not back to normal, I will never take this drug again"

"This medication cannot be compared to any opioid or acetaminophen, because neither of those things reduce inflammation. This medication works against swelling and inflammation, which is why it works better for treating stuff like that. It can be used along with an opioid as well, if needed!! Depends on what you're treating. I see a lot of comments saying that this medication works better than opioids, there's a reason for that though!"

"I was suffering from a somewhat severe case of costochondritis. Felt like a heart attack sometimes. Went to the emergency room and an IV injection of toradol was administered to me. Felt a buzz coming on. More pronounced than the saline solution injected into me. Other than that the pain was mostly gone within a few hours after I got discharged."

"I had a heart attack in March 2018. In the hospital, they were giving me Morphine for pain. I hated the way it made me feel and it did nothing for the pain. After a day of Morphine I asked that I be given something else, thus my introduction to Toradol. I wish I'd known about Toradol before being given Morphine. It made me feel so much better, without the horrible side effects of Morphine."

"I suffer from Chronic kidney stones. The first time I was given Tordol interveniously and it literally worked within a minute!! I was in so much pain and vomiting from the pain. After the Tordol it relieved the kidney pain immediately. Now when I’m rushed to hospital or walk in clinic, it’s the first thing I ask for! I’ve never had it as a shot in my muscle, so I can’t give my opinion, but through an IV was awesome. I have had no side effects from it either!"

"Went into the ER on Friday April 23 for chest and left arm pain, was given a Toradol injection in my left arm, burned like anything, kind of like 3 bees stung me. It eased the pain for a little, from about a 10 to a 7 in pain level , it is now Sunday and I still feel the stinging sensation in my arm and the pain has gone down all the way to my left rib cage, now, my chest is just fine, but now I have this damn pain from the injection. I have been placing a cold ice pack and it helps a little , at night pain gets worse where I had the injection. I honestly don't recommend Toradol it hurts like anything."

"Presented with sever pain in my left rib cage. This pain started after I bent over to pick up something out of the ocean. Felt a pop which caused sever pain under my left rib cage. Breathing, moving, walking, getting up and down all caused sever pain that made me cry out. On the forth day I finally went to see if a th was broken. The Doctor ordered X-rays and gave me a shot of Toradol in the hip. Also gave me a script for Percoset which I have not taken yet. Within an hour I had some relief from the pain and was able to breath with only moderate pain. It is now 8 hours later and I still have only a little pain. So thankful for this medication."

"I get a toradol shot when I get a migraine that lasts longer than a day and when naproxen hasn't help. I have had them help and sometimes they do not. Got one today and the pain was gone within an hour. Plus the nurse did a great job, no burning sensation after injection. I have been lucky lately, not having a bad burning sensation. I once had a nurse inject it quickly and had the worst burning sensation from it. I think when it is injected slower it's better. Overall the toradol shot is good for me. I also take hydroxyzine (anti anxiety, antihistamine) at onset of migraine too. The NASID and antihistamine work very well for me."

"I received this injection last night at VA hospital in Philadelphia. I just couldn't deal with peripheral neuropathy pain anymore. I hate narcotic medicine. So this was a great alternative it took a lot of pain away, I still feel light tingles but nowhere near what is was feeling prior. I have MRI done to see where my nerve is trapped. I hope it's something I can resolve permanately, My girlfriend ask to describe pain, I told her basically it's a never ending root canal, and she immediately felt horrible for me. I urge people who have this don't delay treatment it jus gets unbearable, but this shot does work decently. However, it won't last more than couple days so make sure u get scripts for meds needed until u get MRI done."

Was sent to a few doctors including a Neurologists no one seems to know what the heck is going on!!!! I just want the pain to stop!!!! I wish I could rate this drug a negative 1 million!!!"

"I have had 4 Torodal injections over the course of 10 months, the first 3 were for sciatica and the 4th one was for a ligament tear in my knee. The first 3 did wonders for me with no pain at the injection site and almost instant pain relief. However this last time was awful, the injection site burned so bad for around 2 hours, it took 4 hours to work and then I had terrible back pain for the next two days. It's definitely a hit or miss medication."

"I had what was found to be an upper back inflammation, with a great deal of pain. It was first thought that I was having a heart attack or an embolism. As morphine-related medicines make me sick (nausea and headache), they gave me Toradol injections while I was in the hospital (for 24 hours) and it knocked the pain better than anything I had taken up to that point. I still had a little pain but it was tolerable, and this medicine didn't make me sick. I would recommend it especially for those who can't take narcotic pain relievers. Don't know about the oral dose as I didn't get that, just injections through an IV."

"Was on day 5 of a left sided migraine, after been given tramadol which only made me faint every time I stood up was taken to emergency room. Given Toradol through injection only slightly touched the excruciating pain in my head. Was given morphine which proved more successful. However the next day I am back to a full blown headache with pins and needles down face. Zilch results ehh.."

"Hemiplegic migraines that I rarely go to ER anymore since my rescue meds help break at home. It’s difficult to speak but I stuttered out what my issue was and normal treatment to break it. I can’t take NSAIDs due to intestinal issues, but they pushed that along with phenergan since my pain was at a 9. Hour later, no pain relief but my stomach was a mess. Asked for at least a steroid to break paralysis.” We don’t do that here. I’ll give you two Tylenol and send you home”. Besides the migraine I now have to stay near a bathroom and no relief. I feel even sicker knowing how much $$ they received and rushed me out the door… literally."

"I had Tordol for Kidney stones.. didn't do any pain relief a few years ago. I also just have a strain injury to my tendons in elbow was at doctors yesterday. I still felt it after injection in butt. I think it's a joke. Maybe I'm resistant to it. It does work for headaches though."

"Approximately 3 weeks after having a posterior Foraminotomy / laminectomy I began having the same pain as I had prior to the surgery. The nerve pain & numbness became increasingly worse so I call the surgeon's PA at 4 weeks post op to find out if it was normal. He called in a Toradal script Friday. I took 2 pills (as prescribed) & 1 pill every 6 hours as needed for pain. It's Sunday & I'm extremely pleased with the result so far! I have complete pain relief taking this in combination with Percocet!"

"I have chronic kidney stones and they always want to give me toradol IM for the pain. First off, the standards for what constitutes a properly sized muscle need to be reviewed, because 1/3 of the time, they'll give it to me in the deltoid, while the rest of the time, they insist on the gluteus medius. Regardless of where they put it, it doesn't help much with the problem at hand. If I happen to have a headache or sore back at the time, the toradol clears it right up. The severe pain it's meant to treat, on the other hand, barely has the edge taken off. The worst thing is that it causes intense soreness and cramping in the injection site for hours, far worse than a tetanus shot. Some people have good experiences, so it's worth a try to dodge opioids, but don't be afraid to tell them it doesn't work."

"Get this injected when I have a particularly bad migraine and my hydrocodone and imitrex are not helping. Works like a charm every time. Other meds haven't helped when they get this bad. Plus it's cheap which helps when having to go to a clinic/er."

"I've been prescribed this medication numerous times. Dr's in nl are not allowed to treat based on patent history and must follow guidelines therefore the only medication they can prescribe in emergency are toradol and flexeril. This medication did not and does not relieve my pain unfortunately."

"Taking it for Shingles pain. Seems to work well, but makes me tired and a bit dizzy. Doctor also prescribed an anti-seizure medicine, Gabapentin, so not sure which helped more. The combination seems to work really well for the nerve pain from Shingles. I would ask my Dr. for these if I ever get shingles again. I went from pretty bad pain to it feeling like someone is tickling me, and it's slightly unpleasant."

"Great! Fell from tree and crushed my pelvis. Unbelievable pain. Nothing worked. When they gave me Torodal the pain immediately was gone and I was not light headed. I felt no pain at all. BUT...I then developed a skin rash and had to stop the medication. Too..bad, as it was the best."

"The pain I had was the most severe pain you could imagine- Back pain and Radicular nerve pain going down the outside and back of the leg and I couldn't walk unless I had crutches but a combination of Lortab and the injection of Toradol actually worked. I had been in pain for over 2 weeks and after numerous visits to the local Mega Orthopedic clinic I ended up back to my regular doctor and he gave me the injection. I have had the pill form before with no results but the injection works great!"

"I was given this medicine as an injection IM for severe migraine and inner ear pain. Nurse literally hit my nerve doing the injection causing pain so bad I can hardly walk even 4 hours since the shot and it had zero effect on my migraine. Now I am having explosive diarrhea. Never taking this drug ever again."
