The good news: I don’t need a root canal…yet. The endodontist recommended that we wait until after the first of the year and if it is still sensitive to cold and heat or gets infected, we will address it.

The bad news: No flare of pain to deal with. I haven’t had a big flare while on Cymbalta and Clonazepam ODT, so I can’t tell you how well that treatment works for me when the burning gets turned up to 11.

I must say that this combination has given me a combination of pain-free days (I still sometimes tingle) and sleep-filled nights.
