My teeth are out!!!

[proudmary]

Hi all, just an update for those kind people who responded to my question a couple of weeks ago. I think this has been the most raumatic experience of my life, the Dentist (butcher) couldn't get a canular in so I had no sedation only injectins in my mouth, 19 teeth removed. The pain since has been unbelievable I now have an infection and a dry socket (whatever that is). I left hospital half an hour after the alst tooth was removed and told to take paracetamol and I would be fine. The Dr has prescribed penicillin and tramadol because the surgery was undertaken at hospital an hours drive away. I can't get my dentures in and think I have spent most of the tiem since the op on Monday crying with pain, I am so tired and in a low mood I dont know which way to turn I'm sorry this isn't really a question is it but I thought it might help me to get this off my chest a little. Take care all xx

I really feel for you.
I had a dry socket once and it was so painful. Make sure you take every painkiller you can (within their limits). My dentist also said take paracetamol and I would be fine....went to the GP and got much stronger ones plus, like you some antibiotics. It will settle so try not to despair.

oh you poor thing, 19 extractions and no sedation, dreadful treatment ?

You need Glenfiddich..............

You poor thing, that sounds awful - hope you feel better really soon. Tramadol will hopefully help you soon, I found that it takes a couple of days to kick in.

Feel so sorry for you. Wish I could do something to help. Thinking of you.

Poor you. So sorry for what's happened to you, and don't be afraid to go to your dentist and/or your GP regarding as much pain relief as you need-I really do hope that you're feeling better soon.
