A member asked:

Can a shot of toradol 2 days before an mri mask any problems that are in your lower back?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: May help the pain but will not impact outcome of mri. Mri will show any associated inflammation or cause of pain. A localized epidural around the lumbar spine would alter the images but not a toradol shot given by iv.

No: It's only a pain medication; it does nothing to alter the anatomy or physiology.
