I had a terrible day at the dentist yesterday. After receiving the
maximum safe amount of local to get a crown on a molar, I was *still*
feeling it. I am difficult to numb, but my dentists have always been
able to get there eventually. The dentist wanted to either stop and
temporarily cover it up to try later, or gas me. I just decided to
suck it up and told him to sally forth. Yeah, tough cookie. 🙂
Thinking about it later, I wonder if being a mass of muscles
aches could have had anything to do with it. I had worked
out with my trainer pretty hard the day before, and every
muscle group had an ache in it yesterday. I started to
wonder if the body releases something that might neutralize
a local anesthetic when it's dealing with all over aches and
pains, increasing resistance or something.
Am I way off base? Did I just have a bad day?
