AGONIZING PAIN

My partial root canal got infected. The infection went into the jaw bone. Came on like a brush fire on a dry prairie with 70 mph winds on Sunday. Pain from my neck to my temple and the edge of my nose to behind my right ear including an earache. Pain kept waking me up, difficult to eat. Finally got in to the dentist today and never thought I would be so happy for needles in my gums and mouth but the deadening was the first relief I've had in three days. Got a prescription for hydrocodone and an antibiotic. The hydrocode made me real loopy for a while but sure did blunt the pain. It's now my best friend but won't be able to take it tomorrow during work. Hope the antibiotics work fast.

Hope y'all are have a better week than I am.

There's nothing worse than tooth pain. And why does it always happen on the week end?
Glad you got some relief at last. I've been to the ER on a Sunday with an abcess ... expensive.

Hope things go well for you and that tooth! My husband had the same thing and wound up losing the tooth.

I agree with Barb. Tooth pain can be horrific. I do hope you feel better soon. Antibiotics should kick in quick. Take care~

Oh guys, this was much worse than tooth pain, it incorporated the entire right side of my face, The dentist said the infection went into my jaw bone. By Wednesday, Advil was sufficient to blunt the pain so I could function. The hydrocodone was too strong for me and made me sick. The infection seems to be clearing up although there is still some pain in my neck and mouth. I go back to the dentist tomorrow, wish me luck.

Finally got the root canal finished but, of course all that work really aggravated the infection in my jaw so I was back on the pain meds yesterday. Today the pain was less so I've only taken Advil and doing ok. Now, just pray the antibiotics can wipe out the infection so I can get on with my life.

will, I haven't had time to read a magazine in my dentist's office so that's nice. No time to sit and stress.

Very funny kp. LOL
