The day i feared for almost 2 years has come.
What started with incredible pain on my left side front tooth after a redone root canal on right side inscicor. And left me in constant pain for a full year. Tried gabapenting, amitryptiline, oxycodone and more with little result, the best part was the oxycodone that knocked me out in the beginning… i had all but given up, i was crying to my doctor like a little child and kept talking about suicide.. Then i started playing wow and eating shitloads of candy, especially salty licorice, and the kept the pain in check. It was definitely there but i think i managed to ignore it for a while.
But i ended up gaining 80kg and was on the brink of death, my heartrate when putting on pants in the morning was around 150-160, resting heart rate was 115.
My wifes son took me out to play disc golf and i was hooked, like it was amazingly fun.
I stopped eating candy and started playing disc golf 2-4 hours EVERY day for about 1 year and 3 months, tooth pain was almost gone, i almost never had any constant pain but the tooth was sensitive at some points but it usually went away on its own.
All in all, i would say i was pain free and med free for 15 months.
2 weeks ago i hurt my neck, it radiates heavily to my left arm and doctors (and chatgpt ) is concinced it is nerve pain. I had an xray done which showed no skeletal dmg. But i had some wear damage and ”minor tightening” around the nerve roots. Now they are saying i have an inflamation in the neck that is causing it to be too tight and thus causing the intense neck pain.
I buy that, and i am resting to try to get that pain to go away, hopefully will. But now during resting i am starting to feel the left front tooth more and more every day, which is putting my anxiety through the roof.
I am right back at the point of having dark thoughts and sweating excessively..
Dunno what i wanted except to vent, i really hoped this wouldnt happen
