    Choose wisely.

    hhhmmmmm

    Toradol is a very strong NSAID that should only be considered for the short-term relief of acute, moderately severe pain that occurs following surgery. Toradol carries a high risk of severe gastrointestinal side effects and can increase bleeding. Treatment with Toradol should not exceed five days. The Toradol brand name has been discontinued in the U.S. but generic equivalents under the name of ketorolac are still available.

    Prescribed for Postoperative Pain, Pain.

    Toradol may also be used for purposes not listed in this comparison guide.




    Tramadol is a strong opioid pain relieving medication that may be used to treat moderate to severe general and nerve-related pain. Tramadol may be habit-forming and misuse can cause addiction, overdose, or death. Its use may be limited by side effects such as nausea, constipation, and sedation. Pain-relieving effects or side effects may be altered in some people due to genetic variation at CYP 2D6 or drug interactions.

    Prescribed for Back Pain, Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Pain, Restless Legs Syndrome, Syringomyelia, Vulvodynia.

    Tramadol may also be used for purposes not listed in this comparison guide.

    I was just curious about the difference. Sounds like it would be better with the Toradol - seems stronger maybe?


    MAJOR Impact on the Buck's Playoff chances

    Yea, I don't get it. Why don't they just focus on PEDs? I've heard enough NBA stories to know these exotic pain killers are the norm, he just took the wrong one.

    This is ridiculous. You can’t even tell you’ve taken a tramadol. It does nothing for me. I think advil works better. When the doctor tells me they are prescribing Tramadol, I tell them don’t even bother.

    DING! DING! DING!

    Doctors script out Tramadol because it is considered vastly less addictive and less dangerous than other stronger opioid options. Lord knows it isn't providing Portis with some unfair performance enhancement versus his peers. This is stupid.

    Oh yeah, the NBA with its retarrded drug policy. Portis just had really a string of bad luck recently, the death of a loved one, home got burglarized and now this dumb ass over the top drug suspension. This dude has my sympathy.

    No way you get 25 days, unless this is your third strike.

    keep in mind, the league drug program keeps first two positives private, at least they originally did …
