Hello,
As the history is too less to explain what was the primary cause for pain and the reason for the Toradol injection given.
For your upper limb pain - shoulder, arm, and elbow I will tell you to first meet up an orthopedist to find a possible cause for the pain.
If the pain in the upper limb is radiating in nature I suspect it to be a nerve entrapment in the cervical spine which can be assessed better with the MRI cervical spine.
If it's not radiating in nature than it can be muscular and may have other factors involved.
Based on the type of pain and other key assessment findings the proper treatment can be advised.
If you can give us the detailed history of your complaint like the nature of the pain, how often does it happens, what other medical advise taken etc then we can assist better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
