Default injectable Toradol

So far I've not read anything that would contraindicate my use of 60mg IM of this medication once or twice a month. I decided I might need an oral muscle relaxer so have been occasionaly used Skelaxin and it helps but makes me feel sort of sick and *left over* the next day.

I picked a script for Skelaxin at the pharmacy yesterday. Using my BCBS insurance I paid $45 out of pocket for a script that I was told would have cost $191 w/o insurance for 60 count/800mg. In TJ injectable Toradol was $22 for 3 30mg doses. I prefer an occasional injection if it is safe and in Urgent Care I only pay $25 for copay re visit.

I find the IM dose of 60mg of Toradol alleviates my cervical muscle spasms really well, lumbar pretty good and definately alleviates a migraine for me. Next week I'll see my PM and ask him again about safety of this drug/frequency (I don't think twice/mo is overuse) while clarifying I'm not asking him to provide it for me on this frequency, just inquiring if he considers it safe to use twice monthly as needed.
