[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

I saw some info on Toradol that looks promising for a pain problem
in my family.  Do you know if it's FDA-approved and on the market
yet?  My information said it was not yet approved, but it's obviously
fairly far along in the process.  The literature I saw addressed
mostly acute (post-surgical) pain.  In other words, the stuff appears
so strong as to be an alternative to Morphine/Demerol.  There was
less info on chronic pain, although there was nothing to contraindicate
long-term use.  In particular, I'm wondering if it has ever been
tried on severe chronic headaches.
