Root canal

dave · 04-12-13, 11:43 AM

I had one about a year and a half ago on molar #29, along with a crown. I somehow developed an absess at the root of the tooth. Would perhaps rather have a needle in the eye than this pain. Day one, Tylenol 3 wouldn't touch it, then on to Percoset that helped for short periods. (they worked better and longer at night when they were "aided" with Fireball cinnamon whiskey)

By day four I was taking Hydrocodone and oxycodone depending on the pain level. Haven't had a good nights sleep in days.

This morning at 8 AM, I had an apicoectomy with an Endodontist. Complete lower jaw nerve block and about 45 minutes of pushing and tugging that I will go to You Tube to see what it actually looked like. It sure felt crazy. Now it's rest, ice and Vicodin.

I don't want anything like this again for sure. Okay Vicodin...start working!
