"i&#039;ve had chronic back pain for 15+ years. four years ago i was diagnosed with a bulging torn disc and degenerative disc disease. my doc put me on norco 10-325 and fentanyl 75mcg/hr with a new fentanyl patch every 48 hours. after 4 years on these meds she cut me off completely. no weaning off. cold turkey. all because the dea is out for opiates. so i went thru withdrawal. i was in extreme pain. sweating and shaking. 2 days in doc finally prescribes ketorolac. it was amazing! year&#039;s worth of pain vanished. this was my first time taking it in pill form. i&#039;ve had multiple injections of toradol for back flare ups and they&#039;ve always worked well. but the pill takes the cake."
