Is there something comparable to Toradol that can be given IV for pain?

Toradol is one of my favorite pain relief meds, if only it didn't harm the kidneys! Is there something comparable to Toradol that can be given IV for pain (usually post-op) either in place of a narcotic or in addition to narcotics? A lot of my patients don't like the way Dilaudid makes them feel and I don't like having them so sleepy when I am trying to assess them. I try to switch them to PO meds as soon as possible but if nausea sets in we are doomed to have a bad night. Any thougts?

I am not sure how that is relevant to efficacy, but I am aware of the practical implications.
