Received IM/IV for lumbar back strain. Very good pain control without the "stoned" effect you can get from narcotic. Will use again if needed.

I ended up at Dr. this morning w/a mid-back muscle spasm. Gave me a shot, which was not particularly effective. Still a great deal of pain after 40 minutes of lying down at the Dr. office and been in moderate pain the rest of the day.

Went to ER for severe tooth pain, scale from 1-10, was a 12. Given Toradol IM resulting in pain down to nothing within 15-20 minutes. Was given darvocet for pain next day, but made me very sick. Two days later intolerable pain, Toradol took care of it again. Very grateful for this drug! (fractured root canal tooth source of pain removed)

Received an injection for a migraine at the ER - it did not help the pain and made my heart beat fast. Would have gotten better benefit from taking OTC pain relievers. ER doc refused to give any other pain reliver - had to go to my regular doc the next day and get a Nubain shot - worked great!

This medication did not work at all for me. It was no more effective than OTC meds. I would not recommend it to anyone. A total waste of time and money! Doctors should listen to the patients more carefully, afterall it is the patient that is suffering. In my case I suffered before injection as well as after injection.

When taken to the ER because of severe stomach pain caused be a disfunctioning gallbladder I was given a injection of this medicine. The shot itself made my arm very sore but it did start to work after 20 minutes. I did have mild pain afterwards but nothing compared to when i first went in.
