DA>Toradol is the brand name, I forget the generic name at the
DA>moment - will post it tomorrow.  It is a non-steroidal

DA>(Clinoril).  It does not produce physical dependence and the

Sorry for breaking in. My husband is not taking Clinoril and was 
using Sulindac which I understand are the same drug for his neck and 
back pain. They have found the disk is gone between c5 & c6 in his 
neck and has 10+ headaches. They also are giving him Propoxy 
NAPS100MG/APAP GEN as needed when the other will not keep the 
headaches down. He is being treated by the Medical College of 
Wisconsin at the Milwaukee Medical Complex. Next Tuesady the 22nd he 
will be seeing a Dr Walsh who is supose to be one of the TOP 
Neurosurgery doctors around. He has been in the pain clinic for 2 
months now trying to help teach him how to control and cope with the 
pain. They say and I agree that 70% of his problems are from Stress 
and deeep depression. You see I have Cancer and have been going thru 
treatments for the second ttim. I got LOCKED OUT by GreyHound Bus 
lines and no one will hire me because I'm a "striking Greayhound 
driver" and he got layed off the middle of Sept. from his truck 
driving job which he as done for 30 years and now can't get a job 
because of his back and neck. He does have a very bad Neck and has 
had his back almost broker three times, so YES he is hurting also.
He was on Feldene at one time and also has been on Voltagen, both of 
which gave him little relief and bad side affects. 
Sorry to get carried when I'm breaking into another person message.
Good Luck!  Mary-Pat John's Loving wife. BTW he is the Sysop of the 
BBS I'm on.
