Hi all, Had my cracked tooth removed yesterday, came home and slept the sleep of the dead for 4 hours, woke up starving and thirsty, AND pain free! The oral surgeon did some thing with lidocaine that kept me numb for 12 hours or so and it was bliss! So far so good. Saw my neurologist this morning and he along with my dentist & oral surgeon are hoping this tooth was triggering some of my worst pain flares. I won't know for a few days but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my TN will settle down a bit and maybe I'll get lucky enough to lower my meds....
Hi Turtlebug,
Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope this is a turning point for you, wishing you much better days ahead!
That is great news! Glad it went well...Hopefully the dentist and neurologist are correct and your pain will be gone or lessened:)
Glad it all went ok, hoping that you will soon be pain free. Take care.
Hugs Trish
At work this morning with Lyrica on board and no other pain meds-so far sooooooo goooood!!!!
Congratulations! How awesome to be pain free!
So happy for you! The story we all hope for :-) Hope it continues for you.
