What painkillers do they give you when you get your wisdom teeth removed?

Think mine are breaking apart lol and will prob need to be removed when I go back to the UK. And I have chronic pain which they persistently deny me the painkillers and treatment I need for that. So hopefully when I get my wisdom teeth out they finally give me something stronger.

They would probably let you die before doing that.

My doctors have already attempted to let me die on multiple occasions so that checks out

If that’s your word for chronic and often debilitating pain lasting for nearly 10 years then sure, or maybe, just maybe, I’m actually in pain

How have they let you die though?

Because I’ve been asking for further tests/literally just any interest in helping me for my continually worsening chronic pain for nearly ten years and have just been told it’s anxiety or my period and there’s nothing they can do while it gets worse to the point I can’t even get out of bed most days now, what do you think the next stage beyond that is

Tbf that actually worked for me getting wisdoms out after having a complication, although they knew fine well I was in agony, esp with all the blood on the walls.

Well you are still here 10 years later, you are not dead... If you really wanted it sorted, you would have either registered with a different GP practice by now or seen someone about it in France or even seen someone privately (the cost of an appointment is 4-5 weeks worth of vodka and you have the money for the latter, so...) but you always have one excuse or another for why you are not willing to do that.

4-5 weeks of vodka costs £240-£300, I don’t have that much money to spare, and I’ve seen various GPs seeing as I’ve moved to another part of the country and moved somewhere else for uni during that time, you don’t know my medical history or how insistently I’ve asked for help

You'd have it if you didn't buy vodka. But it's entirely up to you what you choose to prioritise and spend your money on.

I don't know your medical history. But you have posted about having MRI scans and blood tests and I suspect that if we had access to your GP notes, we would get a somewhat different picture than the one you paint.

So I should just stop buying anything nice for myself or that I enjoy to pay to beg more doctors not to ignore me? If I’m going to a doctor and telling them I’m in debilitating, chronic pain, it’s their job to work out what it is and offer treatments/solutions, not to give me one blood test every few years and discharge me to a life of disabling pain they can’t be arsed to try and help me with

like I said, if you are unhappy with your current doctor, go see others. if multiple people are are telling you things you are unhappy with, perhaps the issue is you, not them.

So I’m meant to just be content with ever worsening debilitating pain otherwise I’m the issue because I dared to ask for further tests?

Like I said, get another opinion if you are not happy with the advice you have been given so far.

I find it interesting that you don’t believe doctors can be lazy or dismissive or misogynistic

Some doctors are, for sure. Every single one? Nope, can't agree, sorry.
