That's absolutely great news, Nathan! Makes me want a GA myself!:D Good old midazolam but well done you!
Re: Another general anaesthetic thread - worried sick/depressed :(
Big love to everyone on the forum 😍
I see what people mean about the hardest part of an extraction being AFTER they are extracted...pain is already setting in even with the pain killers 😂
Ah well...I'm happy so that's a pain killer in itself 😏
Re: Another general anaesthetic thread - worried sick/depressed :(
Make sure you take the maximum dose regularly as prescribed. Don't wait for the pain to get bad. Your jaw has had major trauma inflicted on it so I doubt whether natural endorphins will be enough!:)
Hope the pain settles and that you are soon feeling back to normal. Look after yourself.
Re: Another general anaesthetic thread - worried sick/depressed :(
You know what though - the physical pain is nothing compared to the mental pain you had leading up to the GA. Keep your eyes on all sockets, especially for the condition 'dry socket', which I'm hoping they advised you and told you about (can be painful).

Glad you got through it op ok Told ya so if the pain gets really bad tell your dentist :) ATB
