Are there any side effects with Toradol?

I have chronic pain, mainly in my back, and my doctor is starting me on a "Toradol" schedule to lower the pain. He wants me to inject it every 6 hours. Are there any side effects with this?

Toradol is an anti-inflammatory and a good pain reliever. Long-term use may affect your kidneys. Usually, using it for 48 hrs to reduce the acuity of pain is beneficial and safe. Make sure you don't have kidney disease.
