I'm so sorry for your pain and suffering. I went to the dentist with a minor repair and had no pain. I ended up with having my tooth pulled and VERY PAINFUL and continuous, likely permanent nerve damage.

I use a compounded cream with Gabapentin, Lidcocaine and Capsaisin in it. I rub it on my face several times a day and it is very helpful. I truly was losing my will to live before I got this cream. I still have some bad days, but nothing at all like before.

I also went to the acupuncturist at the beginning, and she did help a little.

For a short time, I had some TMJ on the opposite side of my face. There was some clicking. I used muscle relaxers and physical therapy and luckily, that went away rather nicely.

I have heard of people (mostly women) on medications for osteoporosis being at higher risk for that jaw bone necrosis. Fingers crossed that this is not an issue for you and that you find a good dentist and receive good care.

I do get my special compounded cream from a neurologist.
