Sorry to hear about the tooth issue, Freak. Those are always awful to deal with. Hope you’re able to get it resolved soon and feel better between now and then.

If you don't hold a job that has dental ins, don't make enough to pay for ins, can't afford normal dental care, apply for assistance. Or...If you're not an illegal alien, get a passport & go to Tiajuana. Mex DDS there go to US dental schools but don't have all the Gov programs that drive US prices. Much cheaper. can confirm this works went to TJ for dental work and was skeptical it would be safe, turns out the office was a real dentist: clean safe hygienic and a whole lot cheaper than US prices for the same quality of work. 10/10 recommend

Dentist Update: I went at 9am yesterday. The Assistant takes one look at my swollen face and says he is probably going to give you an antibiotic and reschedule you. The dentist comes in and says lets do a Panoramic x-ray, so you don't have to bite down, and leaves. I don't currently have dental insurance, and he had said it costs more. I ask the asst. who says its like twice the cost. I tell her I'll take the regular xray. So I have to bite down on this medieval thing they stick in my mouth. He comes back and says he is going to prescribe me an antibiotic. I say ok, now we are going to discuss pain management. He says he can't give me a narcotic unless I have a procedure done. He doesn't want the state to give him trouble Here is where I am not happy: "Listen. I have been in pain for 3 days. I have taken 3000 mg's of Ibuprophren in the last 24 hours, and this cannot continue. I don't do drugs, I can't go to the state and get them, I am seeing you right now because you can order them." He says let me see what I can do. Uh huh........ So I get Naproxen. Weird stuff. I took it, and it wasn't doing anything, so i took a Tylenol too. (Can't mix Advil and Naproxen the pharmacist says.) It took about an hour for the Naproxen to work. So its not fast relief. But once it does, it lasts about 10 hours. The antibiotic must be starting to work. I woke up about 3 times last night sweating. Today, I am weak, but in less pain which is all i care about. Antibiotic every 6 hours, Naproxen twice a day. Tylenol not to exceed 6 pills every 24 hours. How the hell do you stay on schedule trying to sleep during the night ? So when I would wake up I would check the clock and take some pill. What did he say about the tooth homie Fishy, like talking to a goalie or something. He said we'll "talk turkey" about what we can do. Then he said see you in 2 weeks.

I have a pair of Channellocks and 1/2 a bottle of Everclear. I'll have you right as rain in under 5 minutes. I have gotten multiple offers like this. My 2 friends said they would each GIVE ME 25 dollars....then I stopped listening at "pocket knife".......

What did he say about the tooth homie All the drug chatter points toward infection/abscess. Pulling is cheapest, a rebuild is pricey. Get an implant after he hits the lottery. This is all absolutely correct. I feel like Okung opening the year.

First, I'm sorry to hear you still have the problem, I'll pray for you again. Have you tried Clove Oil? That helped me a lot when I had the same problem. Walgreens has it. It dulls the pain - kind of like the shots the dentist gives you.
Maybe you could convince them you are an illegal immigrant - that way the government will pay for it.
Don't get me started about illegals getting free healthcare. I try to be a little tolerant to some issues (not really) but that one there really ticks me off. Thanks for the Clove oil tip. Does anyone know about CBD oil ? I know it is all the craze, but I don't know if it applies here.

Thanks for the Mexico tips. When I lived in SD, sometimes I would go down for the pharmacies. Great prices, and scripts ?
We don't need no stinkin' scripts.

Who will be the starting OL ?

Who will be the starting OL ? I doubt PR plays (I also doubt that Pouncey will either). Look for a repeat with Lamp starting at LG and Feeney at C. PR will have Thursday and Friday opposed practices against the Saints where he'll get plenty of reps (I'll be at the Wednesday and Thursday practices this week).

Hope your pain level is better Freak. Tooth pain is the worst. If not Ghost Chili oil might help. Put a drop on the tooth. After a few hours of other pain, you'll probably feel nothing for a quite a while.
I'm with McRugby, PR et-al will not play. If they play at all during TC it will be a series during PSG3.

You guys are all wrong, Freak likes pain.
I read somewhere that Rivers loved that B2B practices with the Rams, ended up throwing way more passes than he would in any preseason game.
Makes sense that he won't play PSG2 after the joint Saints practice. I just hope that when the real games start, Bolts are ready. Starting with a few losses might be disastrous.

Bolts, beat the Colts. They should be stratagizing for the Sep 8 contest now. Start with a "W".

It will be a very challenging start, no doubt.

Thank you.....I think. PSG3 he gets like 2-3 quarters of work. That's the "big" starters game to get ready for regular season.
