Sorry to dash your hopes, but Toradol is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. It
may help with the pain, but it won't help you pass them. Nothing but lots of water and time will do that. If it's too large to pass, they can go up and get it or if it's still in the kidney, they can go there (that means surgery). There is also the option of a lithotripsy which uses shock waves in oil or water to break up the stone if it is too large and then it can pass on its own.
Sometimes they just stop where they are and don't move again for a long time or ever. It they are tiny enough, you may not know exactly when it passes, but in a short amount of time you will begin to feel relief.
I've had 3 surgeries, 10 lithotripsies, and still have 18 stones that can be seen on the xrays.
I'm sorry you are having to endure this. I know it is really tough. Childbirth, I'd rather have 3 or 4 in a row instead of this pain.
I wish you good luck and a quick resolution. I'll send up a prayer for you. When it is over, you are going to need to rest for awhile to get your strength back.
