I hope he does give you the script. I guess I'v never heard of this med. It helps pain and its non-narnartic? Then why aren't docs writing scripts for their patients. I would rather take something that wouild help take care of the pain with out having that swooning feeling all the time. I wished doctors would just get with the game! I'm tired of being in pain 24/7 ok rant over......kathy

i just read on webmd that toradol is only for short term pain care like after surgery and is not recommended for long term or ongoing pain care.

Yep, I just read the same info. It's supposed to only be used for five days

I wish they would come up with a drug just like Toradol that can be given for chronic pain. That drug would be a miracle drug if it could be prescribed for chronic pain.
