did you see it? about the football players getting shots b4 games and it can cause heart attacks?
it jumped out at me cuz i know if i was gonna be an addict that is what i would want. i have had it after surgery and it magically makes the pain go away but doesnt make me feel wierd-high-dizzy...it just makes all the pain go away and it is so wonderful
they wont give it to you long term cuz it hurts the kidneys
what really jumped out at me tonight was...last week when i was in ER from chest pains and other heart attack sx they gave it to me. so even tho heart attack is a side effect they give it to ppl with heart attack sx
they did an ekg and blood work were neg for heart attack...but still...i know they say an ekg really doesnt mean much. and heart attack sx for woman are so different than for men
it just strikes me as crazy that even tho i LOVE the drug...whey would they give it to someone when it could cause what they have???
it has many other side effects too but in the past the only one i was told about was kidney problems if you use it too long

I think it was the usual hyperbole from newscasters. One football player suffered from Torodol, which is statistically not significant enough to warrant that kind of alarm.
