Oh God! That's the worst sensation! I have had that experience after giving birth to both of my kids! The stitching up was a torture, especially as there was a lot of stitching involved in both cases and as not everywhere could be made numb! Oh boy, what a subject we're coming across! We'd better stop or we'll frighten poor Ste to death instead of comforting him!! Sorry Ste!

Awwww.
Why is it we always hear such horror stories about having wisdom teeth removed? Are they such a "pain" for everyone? Or is it, like airplane disasters and car accidents, we only hear about the bad and never the good?

CD ... you're right! You know what was the positive aspect of the story?! I had all the excuses in the world to eat lots of ice-cream and jelly afterwards!!

I suppose because it is a traumatic experience for most people.
Dental procedures aren't usually "good" ... there is a particular reason for people being scared shitless of them.
Can't think of anything particularly "good" about Airplane disasters or Car accidents either...

I agree it would not be, but what I was saying is you never hear about the 10 000 airplanes that land safely everyday. Or the 500 000 cars that are driven to and from work in your city without incident. Or the million children that make it home safely from school every day. Or any of the other good things that happen daily around us. We only hear about the disasters that occur.
The news is created to incite fear into people ... report on the BAD not the good. I agree that is what people want to hear about, and I can not see any way around it.
I see a little of that in this thread with the talk about removal of wisdom teethl. Yes, I hate visiting the dentist ... like so many I have had bad experiences, but I have NEVER heard anyone say having my molars removed was "a breeze." So I was just wondering if it is not possible to have a good experience with their removal. Maybe it is only a good experience if you DO NOT need them removed. * shrug *

I think you're right Cloud. Most people do seem to have a bad time with wisdom teeth removal - I don't know anybody who has had it done tht it was easy!
However, statistics say that there must be millions who don't have a problem.

My brother claimed that having his wisdom taken out (I think he was 18) was no big deal, and I have no recollection of him lying around in bed groaning in pain, or anything like that -so I guess he had it easy.
I think for many people who haven't given birth or had kidney stones, wisdom teeth removal is the most painful experience they've endured (that's certainly my case).
Posted by RIgirl on 11-07-2010 at 16:48:
So, Ste? Feeling any better after reading through all of these stories?
*snicker*
Just remember -- this too shall pass...

RI 
that's almost cruel
Wisdom teeth are supposed to come out?
Um, codiene. It ain't all it's cracked up to be. Three C-sections, only needed it at night for the first two (probably could have used advil just as well, but the perscription was free through the discharge pharmacy). Except for that time two weeks after the second, I crawled into the middle of the mini-van next to the car seat, so that my father-in-law could sit in front as we drove to Occidental to see my sister-in-law and her first born.
The third one however, considering I was chasing an 18 mo old, I needed it every six hours, but still think advil would have worked just as well. Never made me loopy or anything.
And why do people smoke pot to curve nausea? All the damn stuff does is make me want to puke and I don't even have to smoke it for that, just be around people who are.

I'm a mutant. I broke my heel, and the hospital ER gave me morphine after the half-cast increased the pain. Didn't work. Not even with a second dose. Removing the half-cast and putting on a soft splint worked much better.
To be honest, except for actual surgery, I've never been on strong painkillers. And after seeing what that shit did my mother (back pain from hell), I think I'll pass. Especially after one dumb-ass doctor decided to add methadone to her cocktail. She collapsed, and wasn't able to do a damn thing for herself for six days.
Ste, I hope it's all turned out for you.

I only had bottom wisdom teeth and my older sister had top - together we had a set!
Prior to having mine out in college, I'd been hit in the jaw in softball with a line drive while running from first base to second. It dislocated my jaw. I was told it could only be repaired by breaking it - I said no thanks. To this day jaw, if I open my jaw wide, it pops.
I don't do well with dental procedures but they wouldn't knock me out when I had mine removed. They were impacted and it took forever. I had trouble closing my jaw after and swelled up so bad I could have given a chipmunk loaded with nuts a run for its money.
The codeine made me sick, so I worshiped the porcelin god for hours and then went to sleep. When I woke up, I coudn't open my jaw.
The doctor in the emergency room said the muslces had temporarily locked and gave me a muscle relaxant. I spent two days trying to suck water, milkshakes and liquid jello (which actually isn't so bad) through a straw through my teeth.
In contract, my husband had his pulled a few years ago and was up and running within 6 hours.

This one's easy ... THC suppresses the gag reflex (in most people -- not everyone) ... and eases the feeling of nausea...
It is one of the reasons it is considered very stupid (dangerous?) to smoke pot and go out drinking. Someone drunk will vomit as a warning that the person is coming close to alcohol poisoning (and dehydration) -- most intelligent people will stop drinking once they throw up -- if THC is in the blood stream, then the body is less likely to give you this heads up.

Hope you're feeling better, Ste!
Maybe you can be as fortunate as my mum was with it ... Dunno how it happened, but when she got kidney stones ... she threw them up...
Saved her having to pass them the other way ...
Big huggies to you, babe. hope it all goes well for you.

I don't even want to think about wisdom teeth! I'm the biggest needle wimp and I hate the dentist... 
But back to the original topic, Ste, I hope you're feeling better!

Here's something good that happened concerning the dentist -my son finally got over his phobia! Now they don't have to dope him to the gills!
Ste, I sincerely hope you're feeling better. It's a pain to be between... um, better not say it.
