I had an injection of Toradol about 15 years ago for ureter spasms and it worked wonderfully. I had abdominal/pelvic surgery on May 25, 2012 and I was given Toradol IV every 6 hours post-operatively. In this instance it did not seem to have any effect as far as pain relief. When I was discharged I was given a prescription for oral Toradol. I don't know if the oral Toradol disagreed with me or ...

I had an injection of Toradol about 15 years ago for ureter spasms and it worked wonderfully. I had abdominal/pelvic surgery on May 25, 2012 and I was given Toradol IV every 6 hours post-operatively. In this instance it did not seem to have any effect as far as pain relief. When I was discharged I was given a prescription for oral Toradol. I don't know if the oral Toradol disagreed with me or if it was just an accumulation of dosages but I experienced some disturbing side effects once I started the po medication. I had a persistent sore throat, a very sore tongue and a huge amount of edema from my thighs to my sternum. When I weighed myself I was astonished to find that I had gained 17 pounds in the 3 days since my surgery! I discontinued the Toradol per the advice of an Emergency Room physician. It took about 4 days for the edema to dissipate and then I returned to my pre-operative weight. I was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer in Sept. of 2011. That ulcer has returned and it is more painful than it was when it was originally diagnosed. I was very disappointed with the ineffective pain relief because I had had such good relief when I had that injection for ureter spasms. The side effects of this drug certainly out weighed the usefulness of it.

I had decent pain relief...but I am not sure if it was the Toradol or the other narcotic pain reliever (was not morphine) that was helping... or maybe it was the combo of the two... so my review would be positive, and would recommend it. My mother swears Toradol is the best (She has migraines and was given Toradol injections)

I went in for gall bladder surgery in 2005, plan was 4 holes, 4 hours, 4 days off of work. They ended up having to cut me open and in doing so I got pancreatitus. This is the most painful infection a person can get - they couldn't even touch my bed let alone me. They gave me the Toradal and I was relieved, however, come to find out I'm allergic to Toradal (concentration for Ibuprofin) my kidney ... Show Full Comment

I went in for gall bladder surgery in 2005, plan was 4 holes, 4 hours, 4 days off of work. They ended up having to cut me open and in doing so I got pancreatitus. This is the most painful infection a person can get - they couldn't even touch my bed let alone me. They gave me the Toradal and I was relieved, however, come to find out I'm allergic to Toradal (concentration for Ibuprofin) my kidneys shut down within 24 hours, my liver then started shutting down, and I had to go on dialysis for over two months. The medicine itself was great, but my experience was a nightmare!
