You might scan through it. I think it might conflict with another med you said you were on (if I remember correctly!)

My dr said NOTHING about risk vs. benefit, like that paper says. He just called in a nurse with a needle. Seriously. This is the FIRRSSTT!11!! I've read about it!

I DO add very strong ginger tea to my regimen for nausea.

OK, my last EOB from my insurance company says I got a "Toradol" injection. So, I'm looking that up now.

Have you had that? I was cleared up within 10 mins after that.

I've had that before and it's fabulous! But I had it for kidney stones and after surgery

Heather, Oh, OK..

Well in addition to a Vicodin script (written for 20 pills that I have not even gone halfway through in 3 months,) I can just "swing by" the clinic any time and get shot up with Toradol. Really. Very cool, huh?

Well the narcotic pain pill I'm on is a bit stronger than Vicodin. It's barely taking the edge off it.

There is no way I could get an injection of toradol and then leave, it leaves me loopy.

Oh yeah. The nurse comes in and does it and then she tells me I have to lie down on the couch for at least 30 mins before I can go. I usually nap for an hour!!

Jess, how often are you getting kidney stones? And, why in the world?

Oh gosh.. We've got to start a "medical b*tch" forum now, don't we?

And we're not even little old ladies yet. Imagine!!!

novacaine/lidocaine doesn't work on me either Sim. For a simple filling it requires at least 6 shots for 1 tooth. I've had as many as 12 for 1 tooth.
