The post whore thread.

I'm in so much pain right now I've isolated myself from my family and will definitely be logging out of here lest I start 10 fights I can't finish.

Just 10? Lightweight

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Videos of surgery. I've learned to not watch videos of what's going to happen until after it's over.

I feel bad for you Stu.

They're probably limiting your opioid intake too right? MF'ers.

My wife is an OB nurse and she complains about this every day with patients now suffering more post op because of the overreaction to the opioid crisis.

Are you waiting for or just had surgery?


Believe it or not sipping cold milk helps a tiny bit when you have an exposed nerve.

I wanted to limit the opioids. Last time I only took one and it was all I needed to deal with the root canal. Also, last time the numbing lasted until I pulled into the Walgreens parking lot about a mile from my house. This time the pain started as I was leaving the parking lot and I had to navigate rush hour traffic for what felt like an hour, just trying not to lose my shit the whole time. I got reckless and popped whatever the pain med was (picked them up before the surgery) and it's been at least an hour and it's not nearly as comfortable as last time. Last time was a breeze. I'm going to have my wife look up if I can take more meds. This isn't going well.

I was literally trying not to laugh during the surgery. It was that comfortable. I almost wish it were worse so I could have better anticipated how much this would hurt. At least it wasn't unreasonably expensive (compared to just pulling the tooth and getting a fake one put in).

[ChickNorris]

If youre still having this level of pain AFTER the surgery I'd have concern.

The nerve is supposed be gone so there shouldn't be that kind of pain, period.

[Irving]

Well, they cut open the side of my gum to access that way. It feels consistent with having my face cut open and my mouth pulled apart for about 30 minutes.

[ChickNorris]

Pmed you again.

[Gman]

Sorry, dude. When your teeth hurt, there's really no way to ignore it. Sometimes rinsing with warm salt water can help your gums.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm hoping the best for ya, Irving. Sorry you're dealing with the pain that you are.

I know it doesn't help to read that, however I hope you can get the pain management under control very soon.
