Severe tooth ache

john the one

So I had a severe toothache the other day in the middle of the night. It was literally the worst pain I have ever suffered through.

I passed out with pain a few times during the night and went straight to the dentist the next morning.

He pulled out a pre molar which was huge!!! The extraction was quite painless. Bit I miss the tooth now when chewing.the tooth and root was easily an inch and covered in blood.

The dentist gave me the tooth and I kicked it down the road.

You ever had such pain where you wanted to knock your head off a wall or punch your cheek bone?

Numbing it with cold water every 10 mins is my cure. Had one before and I thought it was my eyeball from all the tv watching I did over the years. What a relief if was only the tooth. Cold water out from the tap then.

That sounds as if it would make it worse! I lay on the bathroom floor and slept for the night, think the cold tile made it better

I've had a toothache on a Saturday night due to a cavity in my upper molar tooth

The only way I found relief was by drinking cold milk and eating a banana and/or going outside for fresh air

It's only a short term fix to relieve the pain, but will need a dental appointment pronto!

Ear infection. Only happened to me once ever and it's an exquisite sort of pain and neverending misery. It was a few days of pain, no sleep and no eating. Had me literally in tears at times.

Northern Monkey

Chron's disease. Death would be less painful than a bad flare up.

Worst pain I ever had is giving birth to my children. Oh the pain and knowing its going to get more intense by the minute. Especially my last boy at 8 pounds and no time for pain relief, I literally thought I was going to die but alas I didn't.

With the greatest respect,but atleast with birth pain you get a positive outcome and/or it's for a purpose. With a toothache all you get is a hole in your tooth and a hefty bill from the dentist! :-(

Also toothache. The stop from sleeping at night toothache, couldn't afford the dentist so I was in pain for it for months till it eventually came out.

You should have put it under your pillow for the fairies

Clove oil is very good to ease a tooth ache, failing that a regular clove stuck between the tooth and gum works.

Awfully painful

Clove oil is magic for toothache.

I Appreciate it's not something you would just have hanging round the house but it's worth buying a little bottle in the chemist and having it in first aid box.

It's what dentists used to numb pain before modern Anaesthetics were available.

Few drops on cotton wool and on on the tooth, pain free for hours.

As awful as a toothache is, and on a scale of 1-10 (1o being the worse) its pretty close to 9.5 it can be relieved by an extraction the next day.

My demon is gout ~ by Christ is that one sore bastard, HOL-LEEE FUCK the pain is unreal!.

Was clearing a drain and I hurt my back. It was like a knife or sword had been stuck in me. I couldn't get up and had to crawl on all fours to a gate to pull myself up as the pain was so severe.
Thankfully it went away after a few minutes when I straightened up.

I could concur with this.
I have a degenerative condition in my lower back and was in a serious accident in 2009, my back is wrecked.
The problem with severe back injury is you can't move a limb without stabbing agony.

yipeeeee

Seriously there is an add for tooth replacements on this thread.

Boards are on the ball.

I had a good oul chuckle when I saw the advertisement until I realized boards probably have a dossier on me

Yeah I'd a tooth ache once, I was chewing gum when this unmerciful pain went through my mouth, turned out I was badly in need of a root canal & thankfully caught the tooth in time, any longer & it would of needed pulling.

Had an ear ache once & can't even remember what was going on around me I was that out of it.

Either your periods are very late or you should see a doctor about the back pain. And a broken heart is not the worst pain in the world. Standing on Lego barefoot is easily the worst. And I've experienced both, btw.

Have had 7 - all passed within a few day (longest was 10 days - got it blasted)

One of the worst pains imaginable - When I get them now I pretend to pass out when I get into hospital - they see you quicker then!!

I suffer with sinusitis. Some of the worst pain I've ever felt was from it. I remember rubbing red tiger balm across my brow and temples to try release the pain. All my skin burnt off from it, but the pain went!

anto3473

Worst pain I ever had was either a burst eardrum caused by impacted wisdom tooth swelling or dropping a piece of sheet metal onto my leg which peeled a lump of skin right off my shin bone. The only 2 times in my life when I actually got physically sick with pain. Tattoo over the collar bone was fairly gnarly too.

Can't be that bad if you voluntarily did it more than once...

Apart from childbirth with complications, sinusitis and back pains.
Sinusitis could have you writhing all night, eyes closed, then open, cold wet cloth on face, warm face cloth, every remedy that can possibly be invented.


But I know if I had a recent toothache I would say that too, it's awful.

For sinus sufferers I find that since I made myself familiar with the exact shape of sinus on face (the ones next to nose on either side especially), and since I've started using a sinus rinse (the bottle thingy you squish in), I have been able to stave off a lot of attacks. You just have to know what the shape of the "piping" is like before you can rinse it effectively (or attempt to). Check it out, it could really help you.

I gave birth and had a tooth removed within weeks of each other, earlier this year.

The tooth extraction itself was grand - no worse than getting a filling, or getting your teeth cleaned. But, christ, the pain I was in before getting it out was horrific. I had an abscess on one of my molars. I was actually moaning and crying with the pain, for days, even while on the "good" drugs (Difene). Can't imagine how much worse it would have been without them.

It's hard to say which was worse - labour was f*cking horrific, I wouldn't wish that sort of pain on my worst enemy, but at least I knew once it started that the end was only hours away. (Although at the time, it felt more likely to end with my death than with a baby, as it didn't seem anyone could actually experience that level of pain and survive it!)

I've never really experienced any other real pain. Broken a few bones, had some bad burns, etc, but nothing to compare to either of the above. Wouldn't be in a hurry to go through either experience again!

It's really bad actually. Pass out with pain kind of bad. And nobody can do it for you. I didn't volunteer as such. You forget the intensity of the pain when you see your baby. It's worth it obviously.

sciatica. The chronic pain over a few weeks changed me physically and mentally.

That is all

I passed out at the dentist last year. Hadn't slept for two nights and hadn't eaten for about 24 years.

Earlier this year I had a tooth filled but the pain never fully went away. It's just bubbling under since July. Sometimes there's no pain at all and other times it's a 5 or 6, but mostly it's only 1 or 2.

I've broken a few bones in my time, cracked a rib which ached for months afterwards and a few more things, but the worst pain I've dealt with was a tooth ache too.

It turns out that I have (or had) a few too many teeth in my jaw and when my lower wisdom teeth came in, they came in basically sideways, forcing my teeth closer together and basically cracking them into chunks.

I've had to have two of my teeth taken out in 3 years because of it and I'm dreading the idea of it happen again. The worst part is that even though I genuinely brush my teeth 2-3 times a day (yes I'm that sad git that brushes at work) my teeth are banjaxed.

I know the feeling

Must have lost a fair bit of weight in that 24 years? :eek:

Although nothing compared to sciatica, childbirth or stepping on a lego, I did have stitches on my eye (not in the muscle near my eye but on the eye itself). The pain wasn't too bad but the constant foreign body sensation nearly drove me mad. Every blink was irritating so I became intensely aware of each one, blinking started to lose its automatic nature for me. The thing was, if I closed my eye for more than a few moments it would begin to feel unbearably itchy on the inside of the eyelid! Having them removed involved sitting still while an ophthalmologist used tweezers to clip each suture and pull them out... such a relief!

john the one

I had a cyst on my eyelid removed, they operated on the inside of the lid, could see the needle going in and the scalpel cutting as well.

It wasn't painful but it was some of the worst fear I have come across

Got a tooth pulled and learned what a dry socket was a day later, never felt pain like it.

No, it's the term used for the gum becoming infected.

The Aul toothache is horrible as is standing on an upturned plug, but feck me ear aches are a bitch. The pain come and goes, but the warning jolts before it starts keeps you on real edge.
Suffer alot from foot cramps too, they are a bitch.
Feel for people who have alot of Sciatica, I had what I thought was sciatica twice, never again I hope.

Someone told me shingles are a sore dose as well, not that i ever want to find out.
