I like Sheryl's idea best!

My dentist said to use Aleve.

But... when I was a kid and had a tooth ache, my Mom would put Bayer Baby Asprin on the tooth and let it melt. (The ones that tasted like orange - do they even still make it?)

I've been having a lot of dental work lately, too, and I hate, hate, HATE going to the dentist. If what happened to you were to happen to me, I'd be beating his door down for pain meds!! You know... wake me up when it doesn't hurt anymore!

Amber,

Ask your doctor for a prescription of Naprosyn. It is like Advil but easier on your stomach. You're right, too much Tylenol is bad for your liver and too much Advil can eat the lining of your stomach - but remember, "too much" is over a longer period of time than what you've been taking so don't worry about the Advil too much. Or try the Aleve.

I sure hate you are still hurting after all this time! Prayers continue that you feel relief soon!

Amber, sweetheart, get to a dentist (not the jerk who damaged your jawbone) and see what they recommend for this kind of pain. Maybe he can give you something that will target that specific area... Please do something, I don't want you to be in pain....

Thanks girls you all are so great well i have percocets but i stopped taking them cause they made me sick but the pain isn't excruciating it's just really bothersome so the ibuprofen works great and i can't get in to another dentist yet then one to see doesn't have an opening but i will give it one more week then it's on

Amber, I haven't seen anywhere (or I missed it) , but how are you getting along after all the pain you were in from the tooth being pulled. I hope much better!! Did you find something that really helped with the pain....want to share what you found?

I'm glad you're doing better. Pretty soon what pain you still get will be a complete thing of the past and hopefully soon.
