Why not give them proponol or whatever M. Jacson was on? Then they could form a milk line before every game.

@indycoltsluck – it’s “Dilauded”, not “diluted” Dilauded is basically synthetic morphine.

Something I found interesting:

“Thus, just as players don’t worry about the future impact of head injuries, they also don’t care about the future health risks associated with Toradol.”

So the players don’t worry about long term head injury problems, yet we continue to hear about the endless string of lawsuits brought against the NFL by former players on that very topic. Makes you wonder if the same will happen with the Toradol/pain medication issue, 20 years from now, are we going to see the lawsuits related to organ failure, cancer, or whatever else related to over medication.

Narcotic painkillers with a low risk of addiction? Who told you that, FDA, DEA? All narcotics have a high risk of addiction. Especially when used daily or even weekly. To think otherwise is simply nieve.

Morphine, Tramadol, Diluted, Demerol injections are all much safer to give on a repeated basis than Torodol. Anti-inflammatory medications are much more dangerous than the narcotics even though there is a low risk of addiction, it’s a far lower risk than what Torodol and anti-inflammatory meds can do to you especially if you need them everyday like an NFL player does.

its non narcotic. but it runs the same risks as tylenol and ibuprofen. there are pain killers without these risks. why don’t they switch. what would you rather have a low risk of addiction or a high risk of organ failure?”

Name them.

This is what happens when doctors refuse to use the correct kind of pain medication. Toradol is fine for occasional use if you are not on any medication. However, with as much pain medicine as these guys need it is completely inappropriate. They need to be given narcotic injections that are much safer. All this nonsense about abuse is doing a great deal a physical damage to these players bodies by overusing anti-inflammatory medicine and then under treating their pain.

And cannabis is a prohibited substance. Mean while the methadone line before games includes almost 2/3 of the roster.

The guys who make the rules don’t understand how much pain is involved with playing football at the pro level. The need more than Ibuprophen.

Smoking is bad for you too. Let’s all hop aboard the ‘free money’ train.

These players who don’t like these restrictions will be the ones who sue the NFL in 20 years because they “weren’t warned about the effects of this drug”.
