I feel ya! I just had a root canal...the root canal doesnt hurt since your numb. My canals wouldnt stop bleeding so they didnt want to fill them that day. So they covered it with some medicinal stuff and go back in 10 days.
Part 2 -again...numb so I didnt feel anything. After about an hour of doing cleaning,measuring and fillin the roots I was done. They built up the rest of my tooth until appt. 3 for the day i get the crown.
I knew I was going to be sore after the novacaine wore off. I think my was super sore since it was 2 visits. This second visit was on Monday morning. Tuesday when I bit down a certain way I would feel the most excrutiating pain you could imagine. I started taking ibuprofen and as the days went by i could feel the swelling going down and then owwwwww!!! It would happen once or twice a day. I should have called them sooner than i did but was hoping it would just go away even though i knew it wouldnt. I went into the weekend with this. Then it happened on Saturday. I wasnt even eating or talking I just closed my mouth wrog..it hurt so bad I almost threw up.
Monday morning I finally called. I wish I didnt wait so long. The build up was just a touch too big so it was hitting first. Man what relief and I can finally eat again!!!
Other than that it wasnt a big deal!
