Nearly symmetrical cracked tooth (Part 3)

-

(continue from Part 2)

Six days later, I reported to the dentist that there wasn't any noticeable difference. So she recommended redoing the crown, at her own expense. Although it was the right thing to do, in my opinion, I am still grateful that she offered that.
 
However, the problem was that at this stage, it was uncertain whether the cause of the pain/extreme sensitivity was due to structural problem of the crown or that the nerves were already damaged. So she suggested that I monitor for two weeks after the temporary crown was inserted, while waiting for the permanent one to arrive. If there is improvement, then proceed with sealing the permanent crown and then further observe its effect. If the sensitivity/pain is still there, then no choice but to undergo root canal treatment
 
If the sensitivity/pain worsens during the two-week period of wearing temporary crown, then I would have to decide whether to go for root canal treatment right before sealing the permanent crown or forgo that treatment for now.
 
It turned out to be much better: the sensitivity didn't register with me at all except when I drank very cold or hot drinks, and when I purposely sucked air in on that side of the mouth. However, the dentist confirmed my suspicion that I wasn't supposed to feel it at all because it was supposed to function as a normal tooth. Hence, I decided to go for root canal treatment. Bye-bye RM 1000.
 
The whole process took an hour: anaestheisa, root canal, disinfection, crowning, height adjustment. Thankfully, and surprisingly, there was no adjustment needed to accommodate the night guard.
 
Dentist informed me that I might experience mild sensation/sensitivity for 1 - 2 days. Hopefully that's it.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
