What about
some opioids? Would they dull the pain?
Did the nerve damage from the freezing needles completely resolve?
Interesting the timing of this post.
I was concerned about
that when I recently had two mercury amalgams replaced with a composite.
She put the freezing needle in...and then 10 minutes later...asked if my tongue was numb...it wasn't but I could feel the lower jaw area was...she said I needed another needle. I said I thought it would be fine. But, she insisted I needed another one.
While she was injecting...I started to think about
possible damage to the nerves...and was kinda freaking out.
Anyway...it all turned out okay for me...
