>I'm not a fan of Toradol, by the way. It has similar efficacy to most NSAIDs (at an adequate dose) but its toxicity is remarkably high in comparison. Toradol (either injection or tablets) can ulcerate the stomach very quickly. It can also cause renal impairment. Definitely one of the least safe NSAIDs ever marketed!
I don't bother with NSAIDs. I keep my arthritis in line with boswellia and the usual hundred other natural anti-inflammatories that the medical profession assures us are unproven. If I had bad back pain I still wouldn't bother with them. Chronic pain requires treatment that is relatively benign (like opiates!) or none at all. TCM has more effective painkillers than the 30mg codeine/gutrot formulations available to the riffraff.
