desperately in need of tooth pain remedies

i took 600mg of ibuprofen and 400mg of acetaminophen, didn’t touch it. i took 3 shots, it took the edge off for 20 minutes. i went to the ER and cried for 6 hours in the waiting room, then finally got some relief with lidocaine injected into my gum (dental root block). i thought it worked and left, but by the time we pulled the car into the driveway my tooth starting hurting again. it’s back to throbbing now, yet my tongue is still completely numb.

bad teeth runs in my family and so does alcoholism. i’m starting to understand the correlation. time to get drunk so i can sleep, unless anyone has a better idea.
