Regarding the post about ketorolac...

Unless you want an unnecessary UGI bleed don't use it...if you want 
NSAIDs use ibuprofen: much better GI SFX profile, cheaper...if patient 
cannot tolerate PO meds, use narcotics...

One last tidbit about NSAIDs: definitely should reconsider other 
options in pts. above 60....
