Hello
It seems from the history that you are having migraine and you were treated with toradol. Toradol is a non steroidal antiinflammatory drug and it acts as analgesic drug to relieve pain and inflammation.
This treatment is sufficient for acute attack of migraine for symptomatic relief.
However if the attacks are recurrent you need to take prophylactic drugs like flunarizine or beta blockers like propranolol.
Thank you
