In Pain
This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff

Today, I had gum surgery. I can't laugh. I can't smile. I can't talk. I can't eat. All I can do is wait for the pain medication to kick in. FML

Sorry op, that must really suck. Hope the meds kick in soon!

Be careful with the narcotics - they often don't even put a dentin the pain, and they can make you feel like a wild enamel. Ibuprofen gets to the root of the problem and will take a huge bite out of your pain, and mixing it with acetaminophen will help even more. Listen tooth the periodontist's advice, though, and chews your medicine wisely. Good luck.

Just bite the pain in the bud, and chew a Motrin.

A wild enamel... I see what you did there, even if unintentionally

Unintentionally? What?

I like how people are cheering on Doc and they get thumbed down. As for myself since I'm going to get buried aswell just going to take this chance to say great patient stories and comments Doc.

attatood, you must be new here. DocBastard has never posted an unintentional comment. If you think it's unintentional then his humor probably went past you. Reread.

OP just can't handle the tooth.

Even better, smoke a bowl of Sour Diesel and you'll fell a lot better than with prescription pain meds.

I guess you feel like an old person it's time to eat your applesauce and drink your prune juice.

This reminds me of when I got my wisdom teeth out :( it hurts to do anything the first day. Though I'm sure gum surgery is way worse than getting your wisdom teeth pulled! Good luck

Getting your wisdom teeth out is gum surgery =D they still have to cut into the gums to remove the teeth. Your pain was probably just as bad

While "gum surgery" is a little vague, I had a gum graft done a few years ago and it is supposedly nothing like getting your wisdom teeth out. I need to get my wisdom teeth out and all the doctors I've seen have been in agreement that getting my impacted wisdom teeth out will be significantly easier than my gum surgery was: I couldn't even brush my teeth let alone try to eat properly for at least two months after my surgery. I was in agonizing pain even with meds and icepacks and couldn't even talk for nearly two weeks afterwards either.

I don't get how people vote ydi when it's clearly not the OP's fault. Get well soon OP!

Some people hit YDI instead of FYL when voting on accident, like I have a couple times. :p Then there are those who are stuck in the mindset of a 10 year old and think its fun to be a dick. :)

Well actually OP DOES deserve it for not brushing or flossing. That's how one ends up needing gum surgery. Do you know how much bacteria is left behind after meals and not brushing?

I can relate to you on this..... I can only suggest for entertainment, you imagine choking your dentist! It does help pass the time
