A surprising comparison

posted by [personal profile] ptc24 at 11:50am on 11/08/2010
I've been having some tooth woes lately, which I hope to solve finally with a tooth extraction on Tuesday. When talking about my woes, I've heard some surprising comparisons be made. So, a poll which very few of you can answer:

Poll #4071
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2

For those that have experienced both, which is worse?

Hmm - it's clear-cut whether a person has given birth, but not whether they've had "really bad" toothache. Giving birth was definitely more painful than any toothache (or anything else) I've experienced, but I probably haven't had sufficiently bad toothache.

Hope Tuesday comes around quickly for you.

Yes, that crossed my mind. "Giving birth, or really bad toothache?" "How bad?" "Oh, say as bad as giving birth." "Well..." :-)

I think the worst toothache I've had is when I'm interleaving ibuprofen and paracetamol and still suffering quite a bit. I'd say that for the purposes of this poll, cycling between different painkillers, looking for painkillers that are stronger than what you usually have or being really impatient for the dentist all count as "really bad".

It's not "really bad" by that definition at the moment, it was really bad over Christmas.

GPs are good for giving out Proper Painkillers.

For the record, over-the-counter co-dydramol and co-codafen are each individually good enough for a dental abscess requiring subsequent root canal work...
