Hi Cheryl, Welcome to HCM
I understand your situation. In general all analgesics have adverse effects on kidney function and are not indicated in kidney disease. Toradol also belongs to the family of analgesics that inhibit vasodilatory substance called as prostaglandins to elicit its action. Inhibiting such vasodilatory agent will further reduce your kidney function.
Although such medications are contra-indicated, under unavoidable conditions such as yours (fore-mentioned inflammatory conditions) sporadic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) may be used but only under medical supervision. I will advice you to consult your primary physician for any use of analgesics. Regardless of any choice of pain killers please increase the amount of fluid intake and avoid any consumption of alcohol. Lastly, please make sure that your physician knows about all medicines you are taking, even over-the-counter medications.
Hope this helps.

Hi, the tablets of torodol (ketorolactromethamine )is also not safe in kidney failure, We should not take any chance in case of kidney failure.
I advise some diet recommendations which are not documented but may be helpful to you. Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Try it if helpfull it is O.K. Thank you.
