I would rather give BIRTH tahn have another tooth out! Without being too dramatic I think I'm going to die...

[Disenchanted]

No, seriously I feel mega rough.

It just wont stop throbbing.

Had it out Monday all was ok till Tuesday night. I have an absess and been on a 3 day course of anti-Bs that ends today but theres been no improvement, if anything its gotton worse.

I feel like my jaws broken.

I want to get better

Me too I hate dentists... avoid them if I can .. the idea of having a tooth out would freak me out much more than giving birth...

Hugs!!

I was asking about you on the other thread (which I had quite shamelessly hijacked lol).

Poor, poor you. What painkillers are you taking?

Get back to the dentist, it shouldn't still be sore

Disenchanted, go back to the surgery...it could be what is known as a 'dry socket' which would explain the pain. It jsut needs sorting out properly, it's something that can happen after a tooth is pulled.

You should be getting results in terms of less pain by now. I can't emphasise enough, to ring them and ask to be seen urgently.

I went back on tuesday as i had gunk in there, she just cleaned it out, thats it,

i went back wednesday and sid i wanted anti-b coz its swollen and still gucky

I know theres an absess there as she told me but it doesnt seem to be going away

i will nip in today and see if she will take a look
i really dont wanna go back there though!!

what is dry socket?

You know what takes the piss too? My dad pulled his OWN ttoth out 2 days ago using noting but anbesol and he hasnt had a pain since

Here you go, Foxy

There's a link to another page as well I think.

It says on that link about drysocket ...There is no formation of pus.

butive had that

Perhaps you have an abscess and dry socket both at once...

They always tell me to go back if still in pain a few days later. Seriously, I have had a few experiences of this, they know me well at the out of hours

oh disenchanted, it sounds vile, you poor thing. Did you have the abcess before it came out or did that happen afterwards? Hope it all goes away soon.

When I've had to have ABs for teeth-related problems, it has always been a course of at least 7 days - never as short as 3 days. Maybe it's because I can't take penicillins? But I don't remember there being such a lack of im provement.

Poor you. yOU MUST GO BACK TO THEM.

Sorry, didn't mean to shout - baby hit the keyboard.

I've always had at least 5 days of AB's, Pretty.
I hope she is on her way there now!

I didnt go on friday as i was out and got back late.

I really thought i was going to pass out last night - I got a migrane as well as this pain.

I have another 3 days of ANti-Bs, actully from my sister who haan absess too,.

they are exactly the same and in date, lol, so im going to take those till monday.

Im feeeling better today and the sweeling has gone down a bit!

feeling positive

Oh and thank you all for your kind thoughts
