I got some good news today! Due to a scheduling conflict, my root canal has been moved up to Tuesday! Yay for a few less days in pain :) I'm still nervous about it but this new anxiety medicine has me feeling pretty darn good and i think I can handle it. So, 4pm on Tuesday I will be getting this annoying tooth worked on. I keep hearing different stories. Is it going to hurt afterwards or not? If you had one what was your experience?

I've never had one so I can't help you there. Glad to hear that your new medicine is working though. What is it?

@sharon6345 They also gave me PRN Klonopin but I'm trying to avoid taking it as I know its addictive. My best friend just had to come off it cold turkey because it was making her pass out.

Yes, I have had root canals and they do throb afterwards, but not terribly bad. Good luck.

I'm thinking ice pack and a klonopin to put me to sleep afterwards, alone with prescription strength Aleve.

Good luck! It is more discomfort than pain but once it is done it feels so good.

It's painful..!! Though if not with anaesthesia and painkillers
