I am always in some sort of severe pain. Normally it is due to my neck. Today its because after two months, I still havent gotten a root canal I need.

It may not sound like much, but I am in agony and I honestly can not take another second of severe as all hell. I have an appt tomorrow (likely for a consult and another wait), but I can no longer wait.

If I cry out in pain, I get yelled at for possibly waking the neighbors. If I tell my husband im thinking of hurting myself (which I am), I get snapped at and told how ridiculous I am. I beg him to take away my meds and hide them.

The pain does not stop just for a second to breathe. Nothing works. Even Norco. I cant do a thing but sit and squirm.

Hi there. I don’t recall seeing you here before. Can you go to the emergency room? Be it for your mouth pain or emotional pain.

Big hug..... That sounds miserable.... I've never had a root canal and I can't afford other than basic dentistry

I would let the office that you're going to know the type of pain you're in and see what can be worked out... They may try to fit you in quickly if not tomorrow

I wish you well.... xo

Thanks everyone. Im kind of in a weird situation where i recently had serotonin storm. I couldnt take any painkillers for a while. Now that I am, they seem to make the pain worse. I have to wait till tomorrow. Orajel barely works, but it is so hard to get it in the right spot. I like the chloroseptic idea! I could even swish it in my mouth. Thanks for that.

Tooth pain in my opinion is worse than giving birth naturally. Which I have done. So I completely understand the pain can be maddening. Maybe an emergency room can help. Wish I could help you, sending a virtual hug

I hope you get some help today and I am sorry your going through this. I have chronic pain too not toothache though. But I had a severe toothache. It may not be much, but they have guided meditations on the internet that helps me sometimes.

Ouch! Sorry you’re experiencing that intensity of pain. I’ve had a root canal before. I think if I ever needed one again I’d just tell them to pull it. Hope relief happens very soon!

I've had many teeth pulled. I can still eat. Having the tooth pulled might not be a bad option. You can save up for a partial later. Big hugs.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
