ugh. i've been there. try to sleep as much as you possibly can - that's the only true escape from the pain!

It's horrible. I'm hoping the antibios kick in today.

I'm out of town so I couldn't go to MY doctor so they didn't give me the caliber pain meds I require. lol

You know the deal...They look at everybody like thet are drug addicts. I wanted to grab the doctor by his trout I was in so much pain.

% MG vicodin does NOTHING for absessed tooth pain.

5mg

OMG i' about to die.

I'm dousing it with Orajel.

ugh, that's not nearly enough pain reliever. I'm the same way with pain meds. Sorry they didn't give you something better!

it will probably take a few days before you get relief from the antibiotics, so just take it easy.

I've had a lot of pain issues in my life, but dental problems are probably the worst!

I just called my dentistat his house. lol He's calling me in 10mg oxycodone. Thank gawd. He knows I'm no drug addict.

Wow..He's such a good doctor.

He asked me what kind of antibios they were giving me and everything. Such a great guy.

I just have to suffer through going to the drug store and getting the pills and I will be alllllright. I'll sleep al day.

speaking of which, what antibiotics are you on?

glad you will be able to sleep all day - that will help with pain and infection, too!

Erythromycin

500mg twice a day

Have you ever lanced an absess?

i usually get clindamyacin for like 3 weeks 4 times a day. i have six teeth that need

root canals that i cant afford. get infections all the time.

Those two are pretty much the same thing I believe. Attack similar infections.

had abscessed tooth about ten years ago. missed the first day of senior year. horrible pain, tooth finally pulled

health.yahoo.com/oralcar...

yeah i think they are very similar. hope you dont have the same unpleasant side effects i do, youll never leave bathroom

i get the lovely "gumboils" on one side quite often. very uncomfortable. usually go away if i listerine enough and dont eat sugar

but sometimes they cause bad sinus infections too. eventually i need to find $ and get it taken care of

root canals are expensive!! and they all want to be paid upfront. smart bastards!

I think that paying up front for dental care is EVIL. A root canal is AT LEAST 700 bucks.

Everyone needs to vote for Obama!!!!!

yup our dentist is 1000 not counting x-rays, exam, crowns if needed, etc...

our insurance covers 50% of root canals but will pay a max of 1000 year total so i can get two year done for 1000 out of pocket

That's robbery. Healthcare in america needs to follow socialist methods and ethics I'm proud to say.

The greed in upperclass america is keeping you from getting your root canals. And me too. I'm not rich.

Kris I'm just at this point where I hate everybody. lol..cept you and Jason.

so even if i could come up with my portion, still only 2 year

I know. This is just awful.

hang in there buddy!

Thanks Jason...I am. Getting some GOOD drugs in about an hour.

I'm out of town too so this makes it doubly shitty.

go get your good drugs and get your butt to bed!

damn upper class greed well they can pay for me when i lose everything and go on medicaid or whatever.

i'm off to the drug store. thanks for the kind words
