So from what I understand, the tooth under its crown is either cracked or its turned toxic. I had started feeling a bit of a numb pain a couple weeks ago, but my dentist and other dentists are a month to a month and a half out. My dentist set my appoint me the 1st of next month. Going to remove the tooth entirely and install a post for an implant. But on Wednesday this week, the tooth went into apocalypse mode and I have had some of the worst pain Ive ever been through. Not only will the pain radiate to the neighboring teeth, but will radiate to teeth in the top of my mouth as well. Its some of the most excruciating shit Ive dealt with. As I feel like I want to slam my head through the wall and that pain would be a relief from the teeth.
I talked to my Dentist on Wednesday and he prescribed me Clindamycin, and I have to take 3 pills a day for that. He also prescribed Tramadol-Acetaminophen for the pain. I woke up almost in tears this morning and called his office. Theyre closed on Friday's but at that point, I was ready to go to the back alley and let a homeless person cut it out if my Dentist wouldnt. Im playing, but not really. Luckily, he has an emergency line and it somehow still routed me to my dentist. Good ol' small town shit I guess. He prescribed me Oxycodone-Acetaminophen this time for the pain and pleaded with me to let the antibiotics have more time. I also bought Ibuprofen 200 and a bottle of Tylenol as well. He said to alternate 800mg of them between each generic Percocet.
Even after taking these drugs, and even overlapping the Tramadol with the perc's.. I still have some pain in the joint of the jaw and the problem tooth itself. A lot of the pain has went away for now, but its still awful. I've learned that just sitting liquids in my mouth will take away the pain. At times, it will start to ache with just water in my mouth so Ill use a diet soda in its place, which works better usually. Finally, if those two arent working - I use warm water with salt. Which stings at first, but eventually takes away the pain.
I have to deal with this until Monday, from what I understand - where I "think" he's moving me up to that point? But I'm literally dying at this point and looking for some advice on what I can do to lessen the pain further. I was literally grabbing my face, kneeled down, at the register at CVS while some mongoloid took 5 minutes to find the Percocets. This shit is awful.
Kajiimagi you had part of your brain scooped out , they should have explained to you that seizures could be a side effect of that. The human brain is fundamentally the most complex conglomerate of circuitry in the known universe so mucking in there can lead to short circuits in and of itself, no tumor needed. but glad to hear there’s no recurrence. If your electrolytes were messed up that could certainly be a reason too
