    I'm still waiting for this metal post in my head to completely fuse with the bone so my dental implant can be finished. Eating's a pain in the ass, since i've to keep the site fastidiously clean, and I cant eat with my purely cosmetic fake tooth in.

    Last time I went to the dentist it was shortly after I had got my piercings put back in and he was all "you need to take those out for the x-rays" and I was all "no I don't just do it."
    He tried to make up some bullshit reason why I had to but I just told him he was an idiot and he needed to just shut up and do his fucking job.
    The x-rays, of course, came out perfectly fine and I called him a jerk.
    that dude sucks real bad, I'm never going back there.

    Two summers ago i fell extremely sick, my mom thought i had mono so she took me in to see the doctor

    i had a blood test done and he came back and said my blood levels were way out of whack and he wanted to rule out fucking leukemia.

    so i had to go get a bone marrow biopsy, and im sure its already been dicussed in this thread but in case it hasnt heres what they do:

    Imaging the little ink filled tubes inside bic pens, thats the size of the needle. On me they harvested my bone marrow from the back of my hip bone right above my right ass cheek. Here's where it gets fun: the cancer doctor has to stick this needle into my hip using just her strength and leaning on the needle with her weight. Also: its only a 5 minute procedure so they dont put me out for it. All i get is a local anesthetic (sp?) to numb the skin. They cant numb my bone. This was prolly the most painful thing i have ever had to go through, just on the way in. Then the needle got stuck in me when she tried to pull it out, so she was the wriggle it out of my ass.

    So awesome.

    So i wait five fucking days to get the results back, they had to send them to fucking tennessee, while i am in a panic at home thinking i was gonna have cancer.

    Turns out the results were negative.

    I got better in two days.

    Played in the JV football game 4 days after the test.

    Doctor never told me what i had exactly, just a "Very aggressive virus"

    hahah

    I had a procedure done in which several of the sciatic nerves branches of from my L5 vertebra were supposed to be killed by having a huge metal spike shoved into them and then high power-high frequency radio waves pumped through the spike to burn the nerve cords.

    This was supposed to be a procedure that would eleminate the 24/7 extreme lower back pain I used to suffer due to a L5S1 dessication with sciatical pressure.

    They didn't kill the nerves cords, they just burnt them rather badly.

    So for about a month it felt like I'd just taken two .45 bullets in the back, one on either side of my spine.

    back pain is something that i completely hate even thinking about

    i mean i was just jogging to my car (i was late) and as i slowed down i felt and if i had been stabbed with a sword in my spine

    i had to crawl into my car to drive

    breathing hurt.

    it was just a pulled muscle too, you could see the entire muscle swollen up and feel it on my back. that weekend was annoying more than painful though

    I feel for you Weever, i can barely stand a pulled muscle let alone fucking nerve pain

    t Tugga I now have two fully dessicated discs in my spine, the L5S1 and then another in the thorasic area, as well as a whole lot of facet arthrosis, but I still hit the gym every day and do the best I can, for the most part I've compensated the spine weakness with muscle strength but I still have bad days/nights. Two nights ago I couldn't sleep because a nerve got pinched and it felt like the entire outer portion of my right leg was on fire.

    I had my wisdom teeth taken out, but I didn't use any of the painkillers they gave me to use for the month-or-so afterwards. It was a sort of self-control thing.

    And it's the whole BLOOD COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH FOR WEEKS part that is worse than the pain of any of it.

    I didn't either. H5.

    My wisdom teeth came out easily and without that much pain, thanks to some seriously heavy painkillers.

    The issue I had was how the holes where they used to be kept catching food. also, they smelled awful.

    I actually had a root canal yesterday after a week of terrible tooth ache and the pain from the procedure was bliss compared to that previous week.

    Also when the dentist got to the root it smelt like shit. Fucking bacteria.

    ive still got a childs tooth now at the age of 25, it wont ever come out unless it gets knocked out as there is no adult tooth under it. i also like to annoy my friends with the fact that i eat a hell of a lot of sugary foods and drink plenty of water and im yet to have any fillings at all not one.

    as for wisdom teethmine are coming through its not that bad pain wise but im pretty sure im gonna have to get them taken out. As ive already had 8 teeth pulled before cos i have a small mouth, so that'll be fun.

    my girlfriend had hers done not that long ago but they had to cut away jawbone first, pretty nasty, but it meant i didnt get nagged at for a good few weeks as she couldnt talk :)

    Hi5!

    dental_implant.jpg

    Mine's still without the porcelain cap for the moment. The screw isnt stable enough.

    I would like to say I cracked a tooth in half... but it's more like I cracked it in 4/5ths... anyways. Needless to say It got infected because I didn't have the money to go to the dentist, and the infection was causing massive headaches that spread from the bottom of my jaw to the back of my head.

    I delt with it for about 2 months before I had finally given up, and started begging people for money to go get a crown.

    I got the root canal done... and had a temp crown put on.... If i remember correctly I never got it crowned. But at least the roots gone. (the doctor got it good)

    Also... I would like one of these

    i got my wisdom teeth out monday, i also did not take my vicodin. everything is fine though, except for the one on my left mandible. it doesn't hurt, it just aches and itches, so i just want to grab a sharp metal object and start gouging cuz it's bothering me.

    also, when i was in high school, i was in the pool swimming laps. some dumbass kid decided to jump in the lap lane. he managed to step on my head and push it down to the floor. i had my mouth open at that moment, and my face slammed onto the bottom, cracking one of my front teeth. i was underwater for a few seconds, dazed and confused, feeling my front tooth. i then remember what just happened to me, so i swam over to the retard in the 3 feet section and beat the crap out of him. i got kicked out for a week.
