6 more days till my root canal |
|
and I am joyfully looking forward to it. Friday morning at 8:30am I will get rid of the nerves that have been causing me agony for a few weeks. I was going to wait till April 5 when I will be in a better position to pay for it. But I just can't, so something else will have to give.
I have good drugs till then.

1. Haven't had one for a while, but.. |
|
I know people who have - and root canals aren't as bad as they used to be. There is more up-to-date equipment. Plus, as you said, the pain is worse than the root canal.

I have pain meds and many friends have offered to share theirs. I wish I could have it (the root canal) tonight.

Ibuprofen worked wonders for me when my tooth needed a root canal.

3. Root canals aren't the pain they once were (literally). |
|
I had one done about a year ago, and I didn't feel a thing. It actually felt better than the chronic toothache I had for sever months prior to having it done.

6. Hubby is going through the same thing - he goes in on the 1st |
|
his is a failed root canal though and he was sent to a specialist to get it taken care of. Not to mention antibiotics and darvocet to keep him sane until then. Good luck :)

8. I feel for you. Been there with all bottm back teeth. |
|
Fucking lithium ruined my teeth. Root cananls suck, but the pain prior sucks more.
Good luck. You'll feel better once they're done.
