"i had an infection that caused irritation to my trigeminal nerve in my face.  i had intense and constant pain on the right side of my face, from my lower eyelid to my bottom jaw, which lasted about 2 weeks.  it was worse than child birth, which i had done without pain relief!  at least labour pains end eventually.  i was given tylenol #3s at first, which maybe lowered the pain from a 9/10 to an 8.5, and made me nauseated on top of everything else.  eventually i cracked, i hadn&#039;t slept in days, and i went back to the doctor in tears.  i was then prescribed toradol, and within an hour, my pain was at a 2/10! that was the first night i actually slept in two weeks. it was a life saver, i could not believe the difference it made for me."
