Help!

[Dakota13]

It’s 8:40am and I’m having oral surgery today at 2pm. I woke up at 5am with my leg giving me fits already so I’ve been walking around the house in hopes it will go away before my appointment. So far no improvement. I have my compression stocking on but I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to be jumping around in the dentist’s chair during my surgery. Any ideas.?

Terrible situation! I think many of us on here can relate.

What could help you? For example, do you have or can you get some OTC codeine? Maybe that will quell the symptoms sufficiently to keep them somewhat still. And do inform your dentist. If the symptoms are not too bad and if you work well together, you may be able to see it through. Hope you will!

Hi LotteM. Thank you for your advice and support. As of right now I’m ok!😊. I will tell the doctor, hadn’t thought about that.

Hi! I hope I’m not too late. So sorry to hear of your situation! Will you be put under? ( Probably not since you’re worried, but I thought I’d ask anyway). Yes, please do tell your dentist. Also, I’m wondering if he’ll let you put on headphones/earbuds and listen to music as a distraction?

Funny — my crown decided to fall off my front tooth tonight, so I need to make an emergency appointment tomorrow. My legs are not behaving themselves these days, so I also can’t wait to get into that dentist chair.

I hope we both do okay!

Thanks Jess, sorry you have to have your crown fixed. No fun going to the dentist! We will do great!!

Nice to hear from you!

I made it! Had to have a cracked molar removed 😧😧😧 no RLS Yea

Good luck tomorrow!

Dakota.

[LotteM in reply to Dakota13]

I’m glad that went well!

[Dakota13 in reply to LotteM]

Thanks LotteM. I appreciate you taking the time to try to help. The doctor did appreciate knowing about the RLS and showed a real interest and offered a suggestion of his own. Now my mouth hurts🙁🙁 ok I’m through feeling sorry for myself 😃

Yahoo!! Congrats!

The anticipation of being «trapped» is awful, isn’t it? It plays with your head. For example, since the past couple of nights had been bad, last night I told my husband that I wouldn’t go to bed until 3am so that the amount of torture time would be lessened. Well, since I was dead tired, I ended up falling asleep at midnight and guess what? I didn’t wake up until 8:30am!

Hi Dakota! 1.5 hours in a dentist chair and I made it through just fine as well! I had movements in the legs, but fortunately they were manageable! Can’t wait to get my permanent crown next week (although I like the temporary one just fine — it feels so good to have a tooth there again!)

[Dakota13 in reply to Hidden]

I’m happy to hear that! Have a good weekend. By the way are you in the USA?

[Hidden in reply to Dakota13]

You too!

I’m from the USA, but live in Norway.

I find a very hot bath helps

[Hidden in reply to slim1953]

I know you’re trying to help, but this is too funny so can I insert a joke? No disrespect to you.

Yes, Dakota can ask to be emerged in warm water while getting her oral surgery.🤔

[LotteM in reply to Hidden]

🤣

[slim1953 in reply to LotteM]

That's a thaught. I take oxycodon hydrochloride. That works. Better than the dentist being on edge. Mind you he did look funny looking ready to jump all the time. Mind you mouth was wedged open so I could not bite.

[LanaCSR in reply to Hidden]

And maybe a bar of soap in the warm water since we all know how well that bar of soap works...lol 😂😂😂

[Dakota13 in reply to slim1953]

Hi Slim. You are right. I have a jacuzzi bath tub that helps. But then I don’t want to get out 😃

[slim1953 in reply to Dakota13]

Fel asleep in the bath ine night. About 2am I think. Wife asleep. partly deaf. Woke freezing cold and could not move
