Steph, a lot of dentists let you come in for emergent care even if you aren't a patient, and they will prescribe pain pills

I have percocet, and it's not doing anything.

Plus, because I'm dumb, it's 4:30 on a Friday, and most offices are probably closing.

I really thought this was sinus-related when it started yesterday, or else I would have tried to find a dentist sooner. Because I also have horrible ear and throat pain on the same side, and that annoying sinus pain that feels like getting kicked in the face by an elephant.

So I've waited too long today and I think I'm going to have to get through until tomorrow and see if anyone is open on Saturdays.

Man, I can be so dumb sometimes.

It could be worse. You could be waking up on ita's guest bed and still have to fly home and then find a dentist.

Not that I've ever done that before.

Are you're sure it's not sinus? When I have a sinus thing, my teeth hurt. My actual sinuses don't, much.

This has been me for the past week or so. It is finally easing off, thanks to antibiotics and a bunch of pain meds. The headache can leave ANY TIME NOW.

Welcome back, Erin! Glad to hear everything went well and that you're on the road to recovery.

JZ, why are you guys selling your car? Did you get another one?

Yeah, last year I went to the dentist and pointed to the tooth that had been in increasing pain for several weeks. After many x-rays and much poking around, it turned out to be sinus. Now, I get regular sinus headaches and this really felt different. Different as in it was in my tooth. Skull=freaky.

Teppy, there are dentist that have emergency numbers to call. You might call the ER and they can refer you. Or the dental association's office.

Mammograms are easier for the well-boobed but yoga is not.

I guess I should say dentist are on call for emergencies. Teppy, do you have a friend who has a regular dentist they can recommend? They might be able to contact their office and get you in.

That's what's so weird about this -- the ear and throat pain, as well as the sinus throbbing, is all on the same side as the tooth pain, so I figured it was sinus. And it's not actually one tooth; it's basically the entire right half of my bottom teeth. So either they're all rotting and about to fall out, or it's sinus.

No matter the cause, though, this pain is unbelievable. If percocet isn't helping, I don't know what will.

I'd go to the ER based on what you're describing. If it ends up being a tooth thing, at least they'll have given you the Good Stuff so you don't suffer before you see a dentist.

ION, I really need to get in the shower.
