I know. Mine wind up going from my jaw to just short of the center of my head via a route past the ear.
Heat will draw more blood to the area. Cold may offer some relief.
I also have a tactic where I swish (2-4 seconds) hot or cold water over the bad tooth. Surprisingly, when you’ve narrowed it down to which is better, that may give you thirty seconds of relief in between swishes.
One will make it worse. The opposite should help.
Sometimes making it worse for a few seconds, causes relative relief for thirty seconds or so. Then repeat.
None of this may work for you, but I hope some of it does.
Best wishes.
I will tell you, when I have pain in my eye cavities (sinus area), looking at a screen can make it worse.
Take care.
Funny. I have been pressing hard on it for as long as I can take and then letting go.
The pain after that is tolerable.
When I saw the dentist yesterday I thought maybe I had Bell’s Palsy.
He laughed and gave Amoxicillin...
I’ve broken bones, torn ligaments, had three prior root canals.
This just puts you down as everything hurts to the n’th degree...
Last night’s apogee of pain was so horrible I thought maybe I should slit my wrists to end the pain.
Then I told myself to quit being such a puss y and just shoot myself.
Came to the conclussion I was just being a baby and waited it out.
Got 15 minutes of sleep and I’m so freakin tired. Not from the lack of sleep. I sleep very little anyway and frequently just forget to sleep 2-3 days in a row.
It’s the pain. Wears you down...
Had another round of excrutiating pain that lasted a couple hours, subsiding maybe 45 minutes ago.
Can’t wait for this Amox to resolve the infection, so the Dr can pull this tooth.
I’ll get an implant later ...
