[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 215697"] For those that have experience with this NSAID.... I got this shot (OWWWWW!!!! most painful shot EVER! And I'm not a sissy when it comes to injections of any kind.) But, it made everything go away for the short time it works - which is only a few hours. It can only be used for 5 days - I've done that much research. I need to get this inflammation under control. I am NOT doing any more steroids. From the steroid injections (mainly), I have the cushingnoid appearance and I'm suspecting it's the reason my blood pressure has gone out of control. I have such a strong reaction to them and the benefits do not outweigh the side effects - even on low dose. So, I'm going to the doctor today. I'm hoping that if I can get the toradol for 5 days, it might interrupt the inflammatory process. It's supposed to be used for acute, rather than chronic, pain. But, I gotta try something. I know some of you (Susie, you came to mind) have been on various medications and wondered what your thoughts were on this. I was thinking at first of doing injections for the 5 days to try to avoid the GI side effects, but then I remembered how painful the shot was and how I couldn't lift my arm above my shoulder for 3 days. I don't think I want to do that every few hours for 5 days. :faint: It does have to be started with an injection, though, according to rxlist.com. Right now I'm popping vicodin everyday and I really don't want to do that. Besides the fact that it's a narcotic, it only works on the radiating pain and is just a band-aid. So, that's my plan - to at least talk to the doctor about this and she pretty much does whatever I ask. :nurse: Anyone have experience and what are your thoughts? The GI side effects make me nervous because I already take medications for GERD (although not diagnosis'd) and I have IBS and have been having nausea all week anyway. So, I figured I would ask for phenergan, too. TIA [/QUOTE]
