Random Irritations

They didn’t give me enough when having the snip 😳
Now that really hurt .
They had to top me up.🥵

I got enough but it wore off 10 miles from home. Can you imagine operating clutch, brake & accelerator whilst someone played bouncy castles on your nuts?

If that was the only painful experience… as I walked through the door like John Wayne, daughter #2 who was two years old ran up to give me a hug. At two years old her head was just the right height… think I hit top C#

You and me both. Felt a slight twinge as the diatherm started it's job. The next thing I hit the ceiling as I thought he'd plugged my crown jewels into the mains. He said "I'm sorry did you feel that" I said "I tell you what I did feel. How it felt being a political prisoner in a South American dictatorship "
Got the anaesthetic back out.
Never known pain like it

Yes very well put 😂

He said “ we try to give the minimum so it heals faster”

“ the maximum sounds better to me”

Yep, had the same. Had to return back to see him as the wound (not stitched) wouldnt stop bleeding. Walking through his (private) surgery with jogging bottoms soaked in blood didnt go down to well with him. :)
As for the worst pain, I will say breaking my back at New Year hurt way more than having my gonads cut open and soldered.

I always recall the lovely Mrs BB telling me childbirth was painful. She’s clearly never woken up in the middle of the night, desperate for a wee, and trodden on a three pin plug. Now THAT is pain.

As for the snip, I had my bits lasered. The pain was manageable. The smell of burning made me slightly nauseous.

Yes the soldering iron doing it's thing definetly was vomit inducing:)
 
Nah. They definitely used to get another patient in for an appointment before calling you back in.

The previous generations of local anaesthetics did take about 20 minutes.

Modern anaesthetics are much quicker and the best ones work in about 90 seconds as well as giving more profound anaesthesia. They’re great 🙂.

Your dentist and surgeon both know the anatomy and nerve pathways of the areas they are anaesthetising extremely well …… unfortunately what they know are the AVERAGE and most common variants but the reality is that there is quite a lot of individual variation away from that in individual anatomy (just the same as our size/shape/facial features etc are all slightly different). You are all wired up differently and there’s no way to tell exactly how just by looking; so sometimes, inevitably, a bit of trial and error is involved. Sorry about that 😊.

They can "trial and error" away for all they like but not with me and my bad boys.

Must have had the same guy.

Three injections required on one side before I couldn't feel the scalpel slicing through my nuts.

...and then one of the supermodel assistants (3 of them!!!) said that she just needed to apply some anaesthetic spray after I'd been sewed up, and that it might sting a little....can only imagine that she applied an oxy-acetylene torch to my nuts such was the pain.

On the up side....i spent the next three days sat in front of the telly with several bags of frozen veg, watching the Ryder Cup.
 
I suspect the reason we're all scared of dentists is that we're probably of the generation that suffered 1960s dentistry (or should I call it butchery?).

I mentioned it to my current dentist and he said things were pretty bad until the 1990s. I have to say that the only thing I find mildly painful nowadays is that horrible buzzy thing that hygienists use.

Precisely. I think mine was an axe murderer on his days off. (I stopped going at about age 14 then didn't go for about 40 years).
