Could be toradol: Each anesthesiologist uses a different combination of medications, but often times toradol is used. Toradol is a very strong NSAID used for post operative discomfort and inflammation.

A few: Many times, keterolac, or toradol, is given IV during the procedure. It is a non steroidal antiinflammatory. Also, other steroids such as dexethasone or solumedrol (methylprednisolone) are given as well.
