I didn't say that. Let the adults talk.
As I said above...many here think that toradol and some other injectables are magic (@RunTheBall knows what he's talking about, obviously) potions.
gabapentin is often used for neurogenic pain like you are describing.
Toradol is an anti-inflammatory akin to ibuprofen. it's not habit forming and has few serious side effects. it's not typically taken chronically and it would be a good choice for an inflammatory scenario like an acute sprain.
