I have been having a lot of physical pain lately. My broken tooth has been hurting almost every day like hell and it takes a long time to numb stop hurting. I have also been having facial pain (most likely sinus or nerve pain), and heartburn which I believe is an acid reflux thing which i believe started after having a particular seizure. I am concerned that this pain, especially my broken tooth will interfere and potentially ruin any long speedruns that I do in the future. I am going to have a dentist and doctor look into this and see if anything can be done for sure to easily get rid of the pain.
Sounds like you have more to worry about than playing video games.
Avoid opiates unless you are in an EXTREME amount of pain. They can be VERY difficult to get off of. Find it ironic that getting off of pain killers was more painful then being on them. Ask for high dosage Tylenol/Ibuprofen instead, and get off of those as soon as possible. As someone that dealt with severe pain for a year awhile back you need to find out what is going on first then take steps to treat it.
With pain management I would prepare for enjoyable activities. I knew that I would feel better after certain steps were taken and would basically dedicate my "good" hour to my hobbies when doing something demanding. You could try that in the meantime.
For the broken tooth ask someone you know locally if they know a good dentist, otherwise look up reviews of local places. If you see any reviews that raise red flags look elsewhere. Call them and explain your insurance situation, not sure where you live, but where I am if you do not have insurance you might be in for some severe bank account pain too. Usually dentists have reasonable alternative plans for those that do not have insurance though. Then explain that you have an emergency and are in a lot of pain so you can get in quickly.
For the doctor same deal. Although no doctor I know has other insurance plans like dentists. If you are having seizures then it is probably a good idea to go to a doctor and get some medication. Those other facial and stomach pains might be related too. Never know. Before you go write a list of all your questions/concerns in your phone/paper and go down the list when you are with the doctor. When you are feeling bad it is easy to forget a thing or two, and when the doctor wants to know the problems and get out in 2 minutes you have to come prepared.
Good luck.
Excellent, thanks. My tooth hasn't hurt in the two past days, and I think it's some antibiotic that I have been taking is doing the trick. I also have insurance too.
Broken teeth should be looked at by a dentist. Just because it is not hurting now does not mean it is not getting worse. Ahah. "Go to the god damn dentist" indeed.
