So basically haggling over pain relief occurs while there is a drill inside your face...?

I had my wisdom teeth out and they prescribed me Vicodin. For wisdom teeth. Didn't do poo poo, so I suffered for a day and then it stopped hurting.

I tried to get all 4 wisdom teeth out using only nitrous oxide instead of full anesthesia, which seemed reasonable at the time, as I'm not too much of a pain wimp. (Sometimes to my detriment, as I've ignored things I really should've seen a doctor about.) But either because of the gas itself or the mask not fitting properly, I got so dizzy after the first 2 that they stopped and I basically sat in the chair with my eyes closed for a full half hour trying not to puke, wasting everybody's time, until I finally did puke and we went home. A few months later I got the other 2 out under full anesthesia and it went fine.

The standard in Germany for wisdom teeth extraction is local anaesthetic during and ibuprofen after. Mine were horizontal and extraction was pretty violent, but 800mg ibuprofen on the first day and a few 400mg the next day were fine. I was instructed to come back if the pain didn't let me sleep or was otherwise too much. All in all 5/7, would… not do this again, tyvm, even if I got to spend a week on the couch instead of at work…

Splicer posted:Please don't tell me that US dentists charge per shot. Lol my aunt was telling me last night that my uncle went in to his doctor for his annual checkup which is fully covered by Medicare (basically government insurance for seniors or low income people). During the appointment he mentioned he was having some memory problems and wasn't sure if he should be concerned. The doctor did that test where they give you a few words and ask you to remember them then asks you to repeat them a few minutes later. Maybe one or two other questions about it. He got a bill for $180 for additional tests over and above his normal annual visit because Medicare didn't cover it, only his annual.

Splicer posted:Hello fellow painkiller resister. Do you also know what having your tooth drilled feels like? No because I make them keep injecting me with anesthetic until it kicks in. I've had appointments called off because they can't get me numb and they're worried about giving me any more anesthetic. I've even had myself completely put under full medical sedation for dental appointments on a few occasions.

Splicer posted:Please don't tell me that US dentists charge per shot. In fairness here, every time I get dental work that is going to require numbing I'm usually also getting a quote beforehand, billed beforehand, etc. So at least I don't have to worry about that. I've never had them come back and demand more money after the fact.

I'm in the US and I've never been charged per shot. My dentist gives me a quote before hand, I agree to it, and it takes what it takes from him to do the work.

I have the opposite problem, at least as far as dental procedures go - I get a shot and then half my face is numb for like 8 fuckin' hours. Once my dentist managed to hit the nerve dead on which hurt like hell and then it took around 10 hours to wear off. Which sucked because I don't like eating until it's worn off because then I end up doing poo poo like chewing up the inside of my cheek or biting my tongue so I didn't end up eating until around 11pm. e: vvv lol SubponticatePoster has a new favorite as of 18:03 on Jul 16, 2023 |

I am incredibly sick of his promo for tomorrow night's Prime Time episode. I know there will be thousands of stupid people watching his mindless crap. For this reason, I feel there must be a thread bashing him. Give your opinion and make a Photoshop of his smug rear end.

Guess the thread.nunsexmonkrock posted:Old habits die hard. I recently got a bidet and attached it to my toilet but I still automatically reach for the toilet paper first before turning it on - 90% of the time I catch myself doing that and only usea little to dry myself off. For a little over 40 years I have only uses TP. Great thing though (other than feeling cleaner) is that for registering it I got toilet drop things to cover up the scent from when I drink a crap ton of milk. but I gave the lavendar scented one to someone else because lavendar gives me a headache so I have been using the lemon scent.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:I've always liked sketch comedy, but I really want to blast standup comedy as some horrible brainwashing experiment that has a natural tendency to end up this way. It feels built into the structure of the "art" itself since you are, basically, getting up in front of a big captive audience to manipulate them through catharsis like Hitler did to the Germans. Guess the thread.

The Crackhead Clubhouse › Help me convince my rheumy grandmother to eat hashBastard26 posted:Alright, a little back-story. My grandmother is like my una-parent, she pretty much raised me so I care a lot about her. She's a recovered alcoholic of like 25+ years, which will play into things later. The thing is, she's got rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic pain from several shoulder surgeries. Of course, because we live in Florida, the only things her doctors prescribe her are percocets and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as whatever new anti-arthritis drug hits the market. The problem with this is, opiates are not a long term solution for any problem, and the anti-inflams tend to have a lot of negative side effects, such as severe nausea and all around lovely-ness. LoosingStreek posted:i say you just slip it to her when you are staying with her. then when shes really feelin the buzz, tell her what an awesome trick you've played on her.
