For a flare I use Toradol there is a pill for main trance, but a flare I need an injection. Mostly I will go to the urgent care where they have it if PCP is not available.
Toradol is a kick butty anti-inflammatory not an opiate so doctors will help inflammation with it. But it does have risk of bleeding if abused. Few times day steadily is not going to work.

But, I have great relief from it. For maintaining I use Valium for spasms, Toradol for large, pain med for pain...all three if avoiding an ER. Long term I have cervical epidural s, or trigger points.

Hope you find relief. Ds is treating at Hershey med doc's now to see not if surgery, but which. Dinar bone graft or nerve impingement release.

I work with a woman who's son owns a house that he can no longer afford. Bought when prices were high and would lose money if sold. However, he is no longer paying his mortgage. She just told us that he can stay in the house for years without paying. How can that be???

Also 2 other adult children of another co-worker also not paying mortgage, filed for bankruptcy but in the meantime, they are on a cruise. How is that possible?

I just suggested to a friend she might as well pay herself a house and stop paying the mortgage if that is how the system works.

Toradol! That's what the injection was that they gave me when I was in such bad shape. It was amazing. I generally don't take anything else. Muscle relaxers just knock me out, and I hate pain medication.

Hey OP...I was just wondering how you were doing. Did the medication help at all? I hope you are feeling a little better now.
