"i first started taking toradol when i was in the e.r. for severe back pain back in 1992. in recent years my pain has gotten worse so i was put on it again. i do not take more than about one a month due to its side effects, none of which i have experienced. the doctor only gives me ten to last me at least ten months. all i know is without it i couldn&#039;t handle the pain. after about an hour it starts to work and i feel a lot better. i only take it when the pain is at its worse and i have trouble standing or walking. just wish i could take it everyday."
