Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 What -- so this is supposed to be major pain? Just another indicator that I'm walking around with pain that would level others, I guess, cause I had more pain WAITING than now, several hours later... In fact, I had to ask to lie down; it took them three hours to find my chart, during which I was sitting/standing, and by then, my hips had me literally in tears. NOT the extraction. And true to form, they had to inject me twice for novocaine -- a second time, when I was feeling things I shouldn't have been -- and I could feel it starting to wear off as they were finishing. Never again will I put up with waiting like that, though. If that hurt worse than the aftermath of a tooth being pulled and gums being cut and stitched, then there's NO REASON for me to put up with hurt just from everyday life....and I guess a wheelchair is a much more prominent player in my future than I was thinking just this morning. You know, there's been a large pain component that I've been " playing through " , even with pain management. I have to rethink a lot of what I've been enduring, I guess.
