"went to the er with severe back spasms. i can handle pain pretty well, but these spasms were horrendous. i have chronic spine and hip pain, but this was much worse than normal. after the toradol shot and the valium weren&#039;t working, they finally gave me the dilaudid shot. only took about 10 minutes and i was pain free. of course, i only had the shot and nothing else to tide me over until the chiropractor, but it was very good stuff."
