I was in a pretty bad car accident this past week and went to the er after because my back and neck were stiff and hurting. They prescribed me 50mg tramadol which I've never taken. I took one and it didn't touch the pain so later that afternoon I took 2 of them and it gave me a panic attack! My anxiety went through the roof. I went back to the er in my state of anxiety because the only way to get something for the pain was to be reevaluated. I told them that this was still not helping for the pain hoping they'd prescribe a typical pain killer I could handle like lortab or percocet. They prescribe me another med I've never tried "ketorolac". What the hell is ketorolac?? I said why can't you prescribe me something I know won't affect me negatively instead trying another drug on me in my state of stress? The nurse says well what do you want? Ibuprofen? I hated the tramadol side effects and now I'm scared to try ketorolac. I'm in so much pain and I don't know what to do. I didn't want to ask for hydrocodone in fear they might think I'm going to abuse it or something. What is ketorolac? Is it very strong? Any advice on pain relief??
