Okay, so first off I feel like I haven't contributed anything new and recent to this blog this week, I've missed a few days of my reading list too which I can not stand! So I will have to back-track and get up to date with all the lovely posts, sorry! I've had a lot of free time this week and have just done nothing with it, due to toothache which interrupted my nice and new Wii Fit/Blogging routine ¬_¬
On Tuesday I had a massive filling done, and since then I had pain. Tuesday night I was in bed at 8:30 crying. I don't like to admit it, but I was. It was a horrible electric shock pain that made me jump, and happened probably every minute or so, and made my mouth water so so much. Wednesday I was okay, my jaw hurt and was aching, but I thought that was just because of the procedure itself. I tried to exercise but there was a pressure that made me just give up after yoga.
Thursday I had pain again, the tooth hurt to touch, my jaw was swollen and sore to the touch too, so I figured I had an infection. Today (Friday) The pain was slightly less, but my jaw was more swollen, so I made an appointment to go get seen.
The options were antibiotics and lots of sessions for a root canal, and possibly not save the tooth in the long run, or get it taken out. Considering I hate injections, and I have my wisdom tooth coming in anyways (that's the devil tooth that started the whole mess!) I opted to have it taken out.
Long story short, even though it's already been quite long :P It's out now and really didn't take long at all, I'm still numb at the moment so I can't even complain about pain! All I will add on to this though Is that I had a horrible reaction to the anesthetic, with the second injection. I had funny vision... It was double vision, but only in one eye, and only when I looked a certain way, if I stared at the poster, and moved my head I could see where the double vision came into play. It was horrible! It didn't help that I don't really react well to the adrenaline in the anesthetic as It makes me a shaking mess, but my dentist was lovely! I can't remember her name ;( but she really was a sweetheart about it all.
So to end this all; I'm not really sure why I told you all of that, I think I wanted to share the weirdness with my vision, it was so creepy. I was so relieved when it was getting better!
Oh god I know exactly what you went through!! I had an emergency root canal a few months ago after experiencing that electric shock pain in bursts til I couldn't take it anymore...my dentist left her kids soccer game to start my root canal.. SHE IS MY HERO lol will never forget that pain. glad you are feeling better!!
