Yes: Toradol is a very strong anti-inflammatory and pain medicine. It helps a lot for both the pain postoperatively as well as the swelling.

YES: Toradol is frequently given by the anesthesiologist in the OR, at the end of surgery. It is given for pain and inflammation. Some doctors think it has an effect on bone healing. I haven't really observed that problem. Dr. Latva
