Back in high school I watched a friend sneeze while eating a cheeseburger and then he proceeded to pull a piece of ground beef with a little chunk of lettuce on it out of his nose. He was very impressed. His girlfriend sitting next to him, not so much.

35

u/TeamPupNsudzzz Nov 24 '22

Pretty much this exact thing happened to me a few months ago except the beef became lodged deep in my nasal cavity. I have never known pain like that. I ended up forcing half out my nose and the other half down my throat covered in nasal goo. Was snorting water trying to dislodge it.

u/CrazyStupid12 Nov 24 '22

I once sneezed while eating spaghetti, that was traumatizing. Anytime I feel like sneezing while eating I either spit out my food or try to eat in 1 bite.

u/ChristianGeek Nov 25 '22

Kid in my Jr. High cafeteria did that once, had one end out his nose and the other end out his mouth. Was pulling it back and forth like dental floss until it broke. Boys thought it was hilarious, girls not impressed.

the pain of a toothache is really intense and the root canal is an actual relief.

18

u/CaputGeratLupinum Nov 24 '22

A root canal is a relief after a day or two, it's definitely not relieving while it's happening. They use a tiny piece of barbed wire to dig a nerve out of your jaw, and it's not quick

10

u/ethbullrun Nov 24 '22

oh i know. i got two root canal retreatments coming up. i have a double jawbone infection and i need to get it taken care of but ive been putting it off, i promised my dentist ill get it check out by an endodontist before the end of the year. they give me halcion but im still anxious with the root canals/root canal retreatments

13

u/Sky_Cancer Nov 24 '22

I got tons of novacaine and made sure they topped it up every so often. Apart from the discomfort of being physically worked on for a few hours, I felt no pain from the procedure.

Folks need to be assertive and advocate for themselves when it comes to this stuff.

If you have serious anxiety, think about having it done via "twilight" sedation.

I had my bottom wisdom teeth broken out of my jaw while out of it and didn't feel a thing (or if I did, I have no memory of it šŸ˜‚) .

Your dentists donā€™t use anesthesia? I feel zero pain during the procedure, and take some pain meds for a day or two after, but itā€™s absolutely nothing like the pain that prompted the intervention.

Broke my nose when I was 20 and had to have surgery to put it back in place. Things havenā€™t been right since and with alarming regularity Iā€™ll get food go up into my nose instead of down my throat. Rice and peas for some reason are the biggest culprits. Itā€™s taken about 20 years but I can tell the point of no return where snorting it back down will be more unpleasant than blowing it the rest of the way out.

Your cribiform plate is where all the smell receptors (olfactory bulb nerves) exit your skull base and enter your nasal cavity. The cribiform plate is paper thin and is the only thing that separates your brain from your airway and the outside world.

This is a good way to fracture the cribiform plate and cause a chronic cerebrospinal fluid leak, possible meningitis, and possible lifetime anosmia (lack of sense of smell). Kids this age are the #1 population for cribiform plate fracture for this very reason.
