"while at my gp&#039;s office for a routine check-up, i mentioned that i had &#039;a wicked sinus headache.&#039;  my doctor knows me pretty well and guessed that when i said &#039;wicked,&#039; i meant &#039;i&#039;m ready to drill a hole in my head to relieve the pressure.&#039;  she suggested a shot of toradol.  i figured i might as well give a go.

toradol&#039;s efficacy, i must admit, came as a pleasant surprise.  it didn&#039;t relieve the headache entirely, but did quickly reduce the pain enough to make me pretty functional at the office.

side effects, for me, seem to be fairly minimal - i&#039;m a bit groggy and woozy, but otherwise i have no complaints.  it&#039;s also possible that i&#039;m groggy, not because of the toradol, but the allergic response that caused the headache."
