Help AH.

So AHers, I've called you all here to help me. Almost 72 hours ago I had a tooth decrowned and a nerve extracted. The pain in my face since then has been something severe.

I can't use strong painkillers so I've come to you looking for answers. What can I do to stop the pain and get some sleep?

Expensive magic water? Ancient chinese herbal tea? Some leaves chewed up by a native american and applied to the wound?

Hammer to head.

Get some cloves from shop and put them in your mouth around the gums.
Best painkiller for tooth pain I've ever tried!

Chop off your big toe. That should make you forget about the pain in your face even just momentarily.

At about 5am I was wondering if I should stab myself in the leg and then (hopefully) sleep like a baby for a few hours

ibuprofen will take the edge off it

Yeh but you might have hit a major arterty and then you could have woke up dead and that would be the worst friday ever.

I can relate - I get severe pains in my left eye at times, feels like it's about to burst... and I get thoughts of removing the damn eye just to get rid of the pain. :pac:

[Seeing an eye specialist to check it out in Sept.]

I'm a vet , would it be a biggie if I gave him some advice ?

I had a horrible toothache years ago and went looking for Whiskey and Cotton Wool.

Neither could be found in the house. Next best thing was Sambuka. Thought it'd be the same but still no cotton wool.

My housemate suggested I just hold it in my mouth for a while (duuurty) and that would kill all pain. In my pain state I couldn't see anything wrong with this so carried on.

Nothing happened. No pain, no feeling nothing. My housemate seeing this said "no you have to swirl it" so I did and that’s when my mouth exploded. My eyes nearly popped out and as I tried to spit it out stopped me and said "no this means its working".

In a way it did as i didn't notice the tooth pain as the pain EVERYWHERE else in my mouth overrode any toothache

thoughts are with you and your family. I had the same thing about 10 years ago, worst pain I ever experienced. Try to go for a jog.

Do a lot of activity that rushes blood to your face. it will be extremely painful but if the blood stops rushing your face could be paralyzed.

Worst friday for me, best friday for Internet users the world over because if I wake up dead it means I've started the zombie apocalypse

So wait, are you saying he should do this, or he shouldn't do this? I'm confused.

Try chewing tin foil

SEPT 23 1989 · 23-08-2013 09:44AM

You could write a strongly worded letter to the dentist

Especially when you got fillings, really helps.

Should I add drool for added impact?

50% drool 50% blood

Smoke? Worked for me when my tooth practically exploded...

This is the sole reason I decided to take up running.

Like homemade invisible ink?

I practiced Reiki a few years ago and the soles of your feet are the perfect place to stimulate nerve centres including those for pain. If you have a pair of wellingtons or old boots, mix a small jar of Sudocreme, a jar of Vicks Vaporub and a Litre of milk and pour into the boots. Wear for at least three to four hours, preferably walking around to massage the oils and calcium of milk into the pores of your feet.

Works every time *

*Pssst, this will not work at all but if anyone sees the OP in wellies full of milk please take pic and post it here for shlts and giggles.

depends, if OP was a masochist and wanting to feel burning pain eminate through their mouth instead of having a sharp pain go for it

I got similar advice from the dentist. Something along the lines of 'if the pain becomes to much just set yourself on fire.'

I'm reporting this post for two reasons , firstly it made me laugh and spill tea and secondly the tea has nearly scalded the bollocks off me.

Tombi! · 23-08-2013 09:58AM

Have you tried alcohol?
I think drinking alcohol helps.

Try some of that.

I was reading that thinking that you were a nutter. I expected to see a link to your dvd and wellie set at the bottom

Surveyor11 · 23-08-2013 09:59AM

Whiskey. Worked in the olden days.

Banjo String · 23-08-2013 10:00AM

Rub a bit of Sudocream into your gum and tooth.

It cures everything. (According to my mammy)

Don't come to AH looking for advice for scald treatment. They'll tell you to set yourself alight :P

Help AH.
