General Surgeon 's  Response
Ketorolac is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory whereas hydrocodone acetaminophen is a combination of narcotics and analgesic. They have different ways to help with pain.
If I was a physician treating you, I'd like to know your age.
You can take it as prescribed, if your kidney function is good. Generally, it's not advisable to take ketorolac for long term due to its effect on the kidney.
