Toradol is an NSAID, it's works mostly for pain due inflammation, hints it's class. I use it for specific patients such when they have a lung resection and have a chest tube or two on that same side. 9 out of 10 times they go anywhere from 7-10/10 pain to the more tolerable 3ish area. Had a 22yo kid before and no narcotic would touch him, any movement would give him excruciating pain. After a dose of toradol he finally felt like he could function.
