Toothache stories?

[Meerschaum]

I just got back from the dentist today, I've been going through the worst pain period of my life period!, I had a simple toothache about two months ago, went to dentist, they did a root canal on the tooth, all was well then they did a filling on the tooth in front, well something got fragged, pain started in the jaw, just a general feeling, it persisted and got worse/worse and I couldnt get an appointment for six weeks, so they kept giving me hydrocodone's and just jacking the dose up every time I called it seemed like (5mg 10mg 15mg, then onto some other stuff), I quit taking them because I knew, if I went on like that, I'd be just messing myself up. the pain I got used to and took like about 10 ibuprofens a day or more (seemed to help more psychologically than actually doing anything), but it just seemed to gradually grind me down, I was getting about 2-3 hours sleep a day at best, jacked my caffeine up to 800-1000mg a day to keep me awake and I'm cutting and kept cals low which I think in retrospect was stupid, but for whatever reason didnt seem to effect my training in any lifts except deadlift which it hurt I think because if I pulled hard it pressurised it and hurt worse. I got to where my hand on my right side was just twitching uncontrollably at times like tom hanks in saving private ryan but more nervy looking, and my face twittering and whatnot, not fun at all, went to dentist yesterday and finally got my root canal! (been on anti-biotics for the past week) I feel like the good godness that rules over pain has spared me, I slept for about 11 hours straight today AFTER my caffeine tabs!, I feel great. Just for reference I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled and never took a single pain med for it, this was much worse, caused by an infection below the tooth in the jaw and they couldnt gimme the anti-biotic until a week before, although it really didnt do much good for the pain anyway.

I wonder if you guys have had an expierence like this? this was just outta hand, I swear it was messing with my mind and everything, just thought I'd share with the AM ppls
