"certainly was uncomfortable before it was extremely painful" Actually it wasn't - went from nothing to blinding pain as if someone threw a switch. I'd have 10-15 minutes of agony then it turned off for the same time and it repeated at that frequency all of the Saturday until a GP came out on the Saturday evening and gave me painkillers and told me to go to the emergency dental clinic the next day.
