TORADOL should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function or a history of kidney disease because it is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis.

Ive had the ketorolac injection, most its ever caused for me was pain in the area for a couple of days. They have this in pill form as well if you’re against the injection, i havent tried the other, only steroid ive ever tried is prednisone. If you have some concerns you should definitely speak to your doctor
