Very interesting Kim. Physical pain is tough to deal with. The pain pills can help, but they can be addictive for some. Have had kidney stones and took pills for that. Treating the root cause is not always easy, but fortunately there are some great medical professionals around. Good luck with this, and please use the pills as necessary. If you are one of the unlucky ones who wants to take them for no good reason, you should discuss this with someone you trust ASAP. Good luck!

Toothache is so painfull.. I've lived on painkillers since I got sciatica at the end of Sept - they don't even touch the pain - nor did morphine in the hospital - thankfully I am on the mend now:-) hugs jan xx
