Owie, update
In other news, I'm learning that for the newest addition to my Pain Chorus...
...wait for it...
Tylenol actually helps. Yes, Tylenol! Cheap, over-the-counter Tylenol! Who'd'a thunk it? It's been at least twenty years since I've taken Tylenol. I know it doesn't help direct nerve pain, so I sure wouldn't try it for that, and anything else I had experienced up until recently (say, a wisdom tooth dry socket or my recovery from abdominal surgery) was so wimpy by comparison that it honestly didn't occur to me to try a painkiller.
What a concept. Pain of a type that painkillers will affect. I may have to buy myself some normal, cheap, over-the-counter painkillers. I don't think I've owned any since I was in high school.
