Green Room - Week 7 - Day 7

This late Green Room is brought to by the letters "dentist appointment" and the numbers "just found out that I need a root canal", and your local PBS station.

It is also brought to by a generous grant from the Poll Foundation, bringing Eliminations to you since 2006. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/670715.html

Yeah, I've has three root canals, and the pain that necessitated the root canals was way worse than the pain after. They just gave me extra-strong ibuprofen, and I was fine the next day. The worst part is really just sitting there listening to the drill.

Now adays they they tell you to just piggy back acetaminaphrine and motrin even for a broken arm or high fever.
Works as well acetaminaphrine +
Sans the risk.

I actually did that before one of my root canals, on a pharmacist's recommendation (I had a very painful abscess), and it worked pretty well. I stopped afterwards, because the ibuprofen the dentist gave me was a higher dosage than the OTC I'd been taking, and I didn't want to over-do it.

I first got the recommendation about ten years ago when my youngest had a fever spike 105.
