Ewwww, neither?

I've had root canals and as unpleasant as they are (I could write a book on my bad dental experiences) they've not been as painful nor as long-lasting in either painful symptom nor in expense as those whom I've witnessed who've had kidney stones.

But neither would definitely be my choice. Cake or death? Cake, thanks so much.

[ericcoleman]

We already did Cake or Death. As surprising as it may seem, Cake won pretty handily.

Gosh, what a shock....

aaaahh! Pain? This one definitely falls into the "NEITHER, please" category.

Root canals are performed under anesthesia and when the procedure is over, it's over. Kidney stones, not so much.

Uh...I've had 3 root canals and while there was local anesthetic used, when it wore off, the pain returned. Altho I've not had kidney stones,

Uh...I've had 3 root canals and while there was local anesthetic used, when it wore off, the pain returned. Altho I've not had kidney stones, <lj=unclekage> has and indicated (in a hilarious story) the pain only begins when the anesthetic wears off. So I'd say they're both pretty darn painful.

I want a both option, in case the question is which would I rather inflict on George W. Bush.

[ericcoleman]

I gave you that option a couple weeks ago, and you did indeed choose both.

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

As long as I'm consistent.

Excruciating pain (kidney stones) or excruciating pain and sheer terror (Anything dental)...hmmm...let me think....

Kick me in the nuts and call it even?

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

OK.

Having had a root canal and gall stones and having been told that gall stones are nothing close to kidney stones (I've got one of those too, just haven't passed it) I'll take the root canal, thanks. The anesthesia worked great for me.

What, no one has yet commented on just how appropriate it was that this question is blamed on someone with the user name "awfulhorrid"?

[sciffy-circo.livejournal.com]

I noticed it was the Barbarian's idea...

Never had the kidney stones. Brice will need 2 root canals soon. On antibiotics prior to it right now.
