Question for Dentists/Tooth experts...

Until I got the T.N. that abscess was the worst pain I had ever felt. So far above whacking my 'nads on a wooden fence you couldn't even find it on a pain chart.

If you want an approximation of the experience, sharpen the tines of a fork, hook it up to a car battery and jam it into your jaw all the way to the bone. Then have someone wiggle it in time with your heartbeat. Leave it that way for a couple days, with no letup and then add another, poking this one in from the inside.

Thanks for reminding me of the heatbeat thing. :hihi:

I tell ya what else, and I know you can identify with this one T.

The first few days after my root canal, I was in heaven from the release from the pain(that, and a healthy dose of codeine enhanced goodness via prescription) However, because Dr Mengele decided to jam my jaw about 50 times with a needle full of novacain, I had calcium crystal buildup in my jaw muscles, over the next 3-4 days, It got so bad I couldnt open my mouth no more then 1/16 of an inch. It lasted for about 3-4 weeks. Pure hell. I recall once trying to eat a roast beef sandwich. tool me over an hour to do, I had to take field mouse sized bites.

It was then I truly knew frustration. :hihi:
