Any sort of stress can excaperate symptoms and havinga root canal is stressful to begin with. Hopefully your pain will subside a little as you get back to resting and relaxing as much as possible.

Everyone is different. Some don’t take any prescription medications, some take a lot of prescription medication. I take some medication and some supplements, before I started the supplements I had the doctor order a blood test to see what I’m low or deficient in. You will find that A medication really helped a fibro sufferer get their life back.....then you will hear another person that said that same drug almost killed them. It’s trial and error, you have to find out what works for you.

Hopefully the dentist gave u Vicodin for a few days? The sterilization procedure used in the past 10 or so years to be sure no infection gets in that canal is either an acid insert I believe and it causes me horrible pain for about 2 days even prior to fibro Mercifully I have an empathetic endodontist, but he has cut the pills down. I’m terrified because I’m looking at possibly a few and 3 new crowns by dentist!
