Simply the wrong kind of pain.

[Xelebes]

Ok, so yeah. There's obviously good pain and then there is the not so good pain.

Point in case: my wisdom teeth are coming in and they hurt like a bitch and are making my back of the jaw very tender. And no, a dentist is not an option since they cost way too frickin much and my parents never would have the money to pay for it. I haven't been to a dentist since pre-school.

So yeah, what kind of pain just does down right not feel good for all of you?

stubbing my toe! I really HATE that more then anything in the world. I will whine and cry over it till it stops hurting. no comparasion to wisdom teeth but hey i liked when mine grew in and i also liked when they pulled them out.

 

[Xelebes]

Stubbing my toe? Hmm... that does certainly hurt. Not my kind of pain.

Talking about toes and pain, I remember back in grade eight we were chopping down old dying trees in our backyard. The task at this moment was breaking up the logs and my dad couldn't get a chainsaw big enough to cut them so used axes instead. I had a few successful chops at one piece but then needed a tiny little rest from chopping. So when I came back a second later and later mispositioned my feet and took one swift swing of the axe - to miss the log completely.

And into my shoe.

And into my big left toe.

The surprising thing about it was I felt very little. My toe could feel the cold steel of the axe - but there was no pain. I assumed that everything was ok. Until I took off my shoe and the blood gushed from my shoe. But I still felt very very little pain.

The only pain that was of worth noting was when the doctor stuck a needle into my toe to administer painkillers. Pain killers? Pshhh... they created more pain than the axe did!

so do you have like two big toes on one foot now? another story to support my idea that pain only hurts because you think it does....you werent thinking about it...it didnt hurt...when you stub a toe you think about it for a few seconds before it hurts teliing yourself its gonna hurt bad and it does

Pain is realtive. That includes good pain and bad. Pain you can't control (and isn't sexual in nature) is usually not good pain. Well, there are some pains that seem to be less painful to some people, in certain situations. Why are you subbies now thinking of sex?

Head pain, like migraine headhaches are bad. Something you can't rub to make it better. Tooth related pain is also that kind of pain. Sharp, pin point pain that interupts your normal day to the point it takes charge of your day.

Back pain, the chronic kind. The siatic nerve is a large nerve that travels through each hip and down your legs. Anybody who's had siatica knows what I'm talking about. The kind of back pain where it quite literally hurts to breath. Every inhale is agony. You need such strong pain pills, they sometimes make you throw up as a side affect. But, at least you can sleep!

Ever broken a rib? Even a cracked rib is bad enough. Ever had allergies or a cold at the same time as a cracked rib? You know you're about to sneeze, but you can't stop it. You know when you sneeze it's going to hurt like hell. The sharp, pin point pain right in that same spot it was only a few minutes ago...the last time you sneezed.

Oh, on your wisdom teeth? Don't wait too long. If they are coming in on their own, that's one thing. But, even if they come in on their own, most people don't have room for these teeth, along with there other teeth. Soon, you could be pushing the rest of your teeth out of alignment, and this will cause all of your teeth to hurt.

Also, if you wisdom teeth aren't coming in straight, that could be worse. Some wisdom teeth come in at an angle and that will push your other teeth that much more out of alignment.

My uppers came in fine, and I had them pulled. These days, if you go to a good dentist, very little pain is involved.

My lowers? A totally different story. They came in at an angle, pushing forward, directly against my lower teeth.

I was a lucky kid. I guess my parents had the proper genes, and my teeth were straight, without braces. But, my lower teeth started getting crooked, because of the way my wisdom teeth came in.

Of course, I was a kid and didn't know what was going on. All I knew was my teeth hurt. At night, when trying to sleep, they would ache. I didn't have dental insurance, so no X-Rays were taken. Of course, later, when I was older and had dental insurance, X-Rays showed these teeth quite vividly.

I was 31 when I had my lower wisdom teeth cut out. They had been there so long, the roots had a very good hold on my jaw. The oral surgeon had to cut them out (used a hammer and chisel, more than likely) and I was spitting tooth slivers for a few days after. I hear that's normal in a situation like mine.

Another normal thing was I couldn't open my mouth more than 1/2 inch for about a week. I could eat anything I wanted, but it had to be in small enough pieces that I could push it into my mouth. And, chewing wasn't that difficult, but the jaw just didn't cooperate. I'll spare you from the reasons why my mouth didn't open after the operation, but it's another reason not to wait too long on wisdom teeth.

The abmormal part of all this? The surgeon cut a nerve. I had no feeling in part of my jaw and lower lip until the nerve grew back. Well, actually, it's not all back yet, as nerves take quite a while to grow. It's been 20 years, and most of the feeling is back. 10 years, it got that tingly feeling you get when your foot goes to sleep and the feeling is coming back. That lasted for a few years.

Oh, the pain I talked about in my first paragraph? The pain that hurts a lot, but it's actually a good feeling? When a nerve is growing back, it is slow. It grows in spurts. During these spurts, every so often you feel a sharp pain in the deadened area.

You know it's the nerve coming back, because there is no feeling there, otherwise. It's a sharp pain, like someone is sticking a needle in your lip. But, because it means the feeling is coming back, you like it. You actually wish for it to happen. A strange thing, coming from a Dom. A wish to experience pain. But, everybody does have their little pains to deal with, in life. It's funny how the little ones are the most annoying.

The moral to this story? I understand the no money thing. Believe me, I do. Been there, done that, more than I would like to remember. But, don't wait too long when you are dealing with wisdom teeth. It not only affects you now, it can quite possibly affect you later and later.

 

[Xelebes]

Don't worry, once I get a dental plan I am going to the dentist to fill any cavities, braces and the sort that I need fixing. There is a lot of things that need to be checked on over the years but haven't been able to.

It is funny that of all of my classmates through out my schooling carreer have been avle to see a dentist at least once a year and I have not. I don't know if it is really funny but I am quite sure that it was kind of degrading when the kids would occasionally harp me on that.

 

[sunfox]

I'm with DVS on the migraine thing.. I suffer from them, and it's just horrible. All I can do is hibernate in a dark, silent room.

And labor pain. Goodness. They say you forget it... yeah. Right.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

stubbing my toes. It just NEVER feels good.

Any injury I wasn't expecting. Right now, my arm is KILLING me.. just spent 3 hours playing Ultimate Frisbee with the Man and his buddies. My GAWD, they've got stamina!

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Oh yeah, and the migraines, too. They suck.

 

[Xelebes]

Oh yeah, and the migraines, too. They suck.

I've had migraines before and they are not really painful for me - rather a lack of balance and general discomfort with sound. No real pain to speak of - just general discomfort.

When I have a bad migraine, I can't even move. Every movement of every muscle makes my head throb.. and then I'll have vertigo, light will blurr and streak in front of my eyes, and I hear EVERYTHING. God, they're terrible. They make me cry, and I can even feel them when I sleep.

 

[NCShin]

join the military...i think they have a contract for wisdom teeth.

They pull them en-mass. Line ya up and pull all 4 in a day. Took MAYBE an hour from the time i sat down to the time I walked away.

Honestly though, I don't think it costs all that much to get teeth pulled. Most people who don't have insurance and/or just don't have much money get teeth pulled instead of getting them fixed. That is why you see so many back woods people (ie poor) with no teeth. They get them pulled instead of filled.

Don't you like to chew your food? you do know that once a tooth is pulled, you don't grow another? Pulling is the last resort, in my opinion.

I don't know if I would consider those people poor so much as uneducated. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you don't take care of your teeth. Toothpaste and brushes don't cost that much.

Now, the people you are talking about, the back woods people? I would think those missing teeth haven't been pulled. They've just rotted out. And, when I say back woods, I mean truly back woods. Not much toothpaste in those parts. Moonshine, recipe, or better known as rot gut tends to do that to ya'.

 

[A Desert Rose]

Earaches are almost as bad as toothaches. Haven't had either in years but boy, can it hurt.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Okay, this has been bugging me.

I don't think those were migraines, just headaches, which do cause vertigo in some people.

General discomfort just.. doesn't seem bad enough to call a migraine.

 

[A Desert Rose]

I can't speak to migraines... thank God I have never had one. But wisdom teeth I can most definately relate to.

I spent 2 years 'trying' to get them in and it was just not going to be possible. Partly, my jaw was simply too small for them to grow and also two of them were sideways. But it gave me a true understanding of what teething pain is for babies. When I was very pregnant with my first baby, they abcessed. Nothing could really be done until after she was born. Then I had all 4 removed. Absolutely the best thing I ever did.

My advice... get them out however you can and take care of your teeth. They can never truly be replaced.

 

[shy slave]

Now REAL pain to me is having to play 'happy families' with my parents.

Especially when they don't like anything about the way my sons and I live our lives. No i don't mean illegal or immoral stuff just ordinary points of view and an odd sense of humour.
Guess I won't be introducing them to Him anytime soon and then refering to Him as 'Master' in their company lol

Incidentally ~ Yes I have had the migraines and back pain but would still swop them for a 1/2 day with my folks ...any offers ??

 

[Xelebes]

Oh goodness, the pain is finally receding now with that numbing feeling. The good numbing feeling but there is slight traces of pain still.

And yeah, I don't know about our military if it does wisdom-teeth pulling. They barely have enough money to buy new guns if one should ever get decimated.

 

[wickedwanda]

Kidney stone. There's a revelation. Knock you to your knees pain (and not in a good way).

Never had the pleasure, but I know others who have. Ouch!

 

[landcruisergal]

Pulled my neck at work last week and suffered quite badly, to the point where I thought my days of performing fellatio were over! Couldn't turn my head much at all and the thought of the bobbing up and down....Made my heart sink...Still sore but way better.
Migraines suck, I get all the nausea, photophobia and splitting head pain, out of the race for 48hours. But I have discovered most of my triggers and now they are rare.
Seen too many big men cry with kidney stones at work.Renal colic is horrid and I'm generous with the narcs. Its the only thing that works.
But in bdsm, I'm a piglet for pain.

 

[sadunai]

Easy, any pain that doesn't end up in an orgasm (sooner or later), is bad pain.

 

[Beloved]

I gotta go with sunfox here with regards to Labor pains. Sure the end product is great, but my God in Heaven....what you go through to get there!

I have a dentists appt today to get a filling and see if my upper wisdom teeth are finally breaking through...maybe I shouldn't have read all the dental threads!

Thus far the absolute extreme in my pain management portfoliio has to be coming to while having my knee scoped. Apparently my anesthesia had worn totally off, as had my pain killers and I woke up on the operating table with my knee flayed open and the doc rooting around in there trimming up damaged cartilidge and removing bone fragments. It wouldn't have been so awful except that the way the doctor realized I was awake was when my hand brushed against his surgical gown and he jerked back about a foot with the scope in his hand!!
OOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

LMAO!!!!! Soooo true!!

Why do papercuts hurt so much?? I mean, its such a little thing, but damn! They HURT! How about when you lick an envelope and run it over the corner of your mouth?? OUCH!!

Man, that made me twitch I can't imagine how bad that must have felt.
