Anyone Had A Tooth Pulled?!

My teeth had been rotting in my head for years and it got so bad I couldn't function so a guy I knew at the time helped ease the pain and it did stop the pain cold and on the spot, but what a price I paid for several years to get clean and get my life back.. Ten years of methadone treatment and having to piss on demand every few days.. Not a lifestyle I would recommend for most people..
I've struggled for years since with pain of all kinds and keeping myself away and off of opiates in general and now that I'm much older than I was when I started down this path it's nearly impossible for me to find a doctor of any kind willing to prescribe any kind of pain medication when I actually need it.
Luckily I did get every last tooth yanked out of my head and a good set of dentures, but to answer the original question...yes..it hurts like a mutha.. I don't recommend dental pain for anyone for any reason whatsoever..   
It seems that some people can go through life with their teeth intact all their lives and then there are those lucky to get to adulthood with a full set before they start rotting out no matter what they do.. 

Pretty intense......  sorry brother, but congrats on being clean and staying clean!  You're a boss! Keep it up!
