If the oral surgeon tells you twice that you really should consider the IV sedation, trust me when I tell you that, "Aw hell, doc, just numb me up and get after it" is not a wise reply. #oxycodone on board. :bang

Dang....I had em knock me out....
Sometimes I just amaze myself with stupidity. I really didn't think it was going to be as bad as it was. The worst part was hearing and feeling the scalpel cutting my gums open. brrrrr.
That's just too much information!Quote:

If I'm gonna be cut on, I don't want to be there. Pain is just for people who can't handle drugs.
I didn't really feel pain - got 5 shots. Even my ear was numb. But the sound of the scalpel hacking through my gum and the smell of bone being ground down nearly caused me to puke and pass out.Quote:

I hear yah bro: worst medical experience of my life was having two wisdom teeth removed: Doc said "they'll come out easy, lets just give you gas & Novocain."
First one popped right out. Second one took a 1/2 an hour, he ended up cracking it in four pieces and pulling the pieces out. Felt like he had both hands and one foot in my mouth pulling on my jaw. I was in shock to 2 hours, couldn't drive home.
I'll never have a tooth pulled without going under again. As Haywire noted above, "Pain is just for people who can't handle drugs."
I do have to say, however, that with oxycodone on board, I'm feeling pretty much right.
Drugs were once a recreational pastime, back when I had no pains. Now, it's more of a " I feel more like I do now than when I first came into your office, Doc."
I had two wisdom teeth pulled while I was in bootcamp at MCRD SanDiego. They numbed me up and a couple of sailors held me down and yanked them out. I remember every second of that and it was 30+ years ago.Quote:
