pain
"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'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."
