Toradol and cortisone. I am put to sleep it’s done in a hospital. He also uses some kind of long lasting lidocaine. I will get the exact amount from him.

Thanks Artemis. I had a kidney stone and because I can't use opioids, was given Toradol via IV at the Emergency Room. It took car of the pain. I have a shoulder that needs to be replaced and use Rx 5% lidocaine patches that work well on pain right inside the joint.

Two things to note, Toradol is a powerful NSAID and from what I understand, can only be taken for 5 days. And the Rx lidocaine patches may not be covered by insurance if it's for muscle pain. I got mine approved because the shoulder needs to be replaced, I think.
