transcending dental medication

[Guest guest]

Well, I got some bad news yesterday at the dentist. my toothache had

gotten worse over the last week to the point I couldn't chew or sleep

more than an hour without it waking me up. After 2 quick xrays (with

only 1 lead blanket I read after I got home I should have asdked for

two of them

The doc said my older fillings are failing and decay has gotten under

them. at least one root canal maybe two. All she could do was a temp

medicated filling which at least made the pain go away thank goodness.

but most of the work has to wait til my second trimester. Now I was

told after my RNY by our surgeon's group not to take aspirin,

ibuprofen, or tylenol. and being pregnant I can't take stronger

stuff. what do folks do for aches and pains?

Ayway I am trying not to wrry too much about the lidocaine they had to

give me to do the tep filling, but a few articles online do hint that

it can cause problems. Am I worrying for nothing?

i was told by my doctor adn nurse that you can's take anything with asprin,

caffien or and anti-inflamitory. Wich pretty much only leaves tylonel i found

that out cause i get headaches frequently and went to a walgreen and told the

pharmasist there what i was told by my doctor and he said that tylenol was the

only thing left to take that didnt have that stuff in it.

The only non-prescrip pain reliever my WLS doc told me was acceptable

to take, post surgery, was Tylenol. Tylenol is safe during pregnancy

also.

My OBGyn prescibed Tylenol 3 to help with severe aches and pains and

migrains, but I found that any time I took it I would get severe back

spasms and my pouch and intestines were in agony for hours, even

after only taking a half a tablet (maybe a reaction to the codeine).

I'm sure others have a better experience with prescip pain relievers.

I would talk with your OB or have your dentist speak with her/him so

they can get you the right meds. There are some good options out

there.
