I’ll bring some vicodin to MFF, just in case.
If you’re taking lots of tylenol, AVOID ALCOHOL.

In reply to maegwynn. Actually, the overriding reason is that the two drugs are bad for different organs (kidney and liver, I think) and so you are basically spreading out the damage and can pump in more painkiller. Duncan, I hope you feel better soon. I guess no infection? I had a similar problem and we tried to save the tooth, it ended up infected and inflamed and sore for a while and the root canal was a relief!

Oh, yikes! Sorry! I’ve had two root canals, but I’ve got a great dentist, never even the slightest amount of pain… You need a referral?

Ouch!
My sympathies: I just finished my fifth and last visit for the root canal at the end of October. I get to go back to start the crown in December. I’ll agree with alternating ibuprofen and asprin (or your favorite approximation thereof) — it helped me both with the pain and the swelling.
See you next weekend; hope you’re feeling better soon.

Ouch! You take care of yourself, Duncan. No hard foods for a time.

Get well soon! You have my sympathy – I seem to have no problems in the spring, but six months later, each fall – RIGHT BEFORE MFF – I always have major dental problems. I have had one root canal, three crowns, and a bridge installed in the last five year! And last year, ten days before MFF, my durgery to remove the remnants of the tooth that got the root canal so I could get that bridge. Which is why I was so out of it last year at the con! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. HUGS!
