I have had ongoing issues with teeth...
Here is the routine I have sore gums feels like a tooth the teeth 3 in a row have root canals so they feel different than teeth without should they ache at all. I go to the dentist he takes an xray says it must be sinus I go to the doctor she gives me antibiotics nasal sprays containing steroids ...sometimes it has moved down to my chest and caused infection there. It goes around like this countless sinus lung infections. Then fallout from antibiotics repeatedly.

In March this year I did this same dance with one difference when I went to the dentist I had been on 3 courses of antibiotics that had not worked so was double checking teeth. Did the routine xray which was again fine. There was a tiny lump at the jawline so had the dentist check it. He was not sure so referred me - to a specialist who did not take my insurance.. so then to another specialist who did take my insurance. I had been on antibiotics from March to June by the time the tooth was pulled. Early June I think the 4th. The tooth almost fell out the specialist said it was a bad tooth or it would not have come out so easy. I had a different freezing that had to be done twice as a non freezing experience was in progress again the freezing was the one recommended by the drug allergy speciaist stated with an M still same family as lidocaine. It was a piece of cake ... the dentist was in the room 2-3 min. and gone.. I looked at the tooth as the assistant said I could it had a ball of puss on the end. The teeth behind still hurt... went back to this same guy later he said they were fine. Did not xray.
After this tooth was pulled withing 20 min had a pain in my shoulder that went down my back in a couple days later I was dx with a kidney infection and put on more drugs... when it looked it up it was for uti. After starting it I was very ill vomiting ect.. could not get up... next day felt better but my face swelled up.. went to emerg was sent home said I was being treated already let the med work. Went home finished med... severe back pain after med was gone went back to emerg... pain was in my spine... given different antibiotic and different pain meds went home slowly improved.
I did not want this again it seemed to me a pattern of infections and pain.. I had been 7 antibiotics from March to July. Aug I was sick from antibiotics over load treated that and avoided antibiotic therapy till Oct.. even tho I was not well. Feel like I am getting it all again now.
I pushed both my gp and dentist to find out why ... dentist finally said this is out of his field he can't do pathology and gave me a name of doc for my gp to refer me to. I finally got in Oct 14 it cost a lot of money for me... she said I had muscle spams in my jaw and took full mouth xray said it showed I had arthritis. Told me to try an muscle relaxant or accupuncture. That was a month ago I seen my doc Wed last wk.. got the muscle relaxant... they give me head aches even at a much lower dose than suggested... tapering off them now.
On Thurs I had a call from my gp saying I they needed an ok for a ct scan of my jaw as the radiologist from the hosp where I seen the specialist who said I had arthritis sent a report on Thurs saying my jaw was fractured and there is a piece of bone loose in there.
I am gobsmacked this one xray I could not seem to get until I travelled to another city... finally showed what may be my problem a broken jaw. MY doc was not in the office it was the nurse who called. I have not been able to talk to any doc as it is the wkend.
I would like to know if a broken jaw that went undiagnosed for who knows how long could cause all these infections I am experiencing?

I just don't know where to turn next the entire things is confusing to me. I have had to fight tooth and nail to get T3 from my doc so I can sleep at night all day I just put up with it. Some days are hell on wheels some days are better.

I feel let down and not well cared for I also feel unheard .. I don't know what other people do when they are in pain but maybe I am not presenting in a way to get the attention I need. I don't scream and cry when I am in pain... not in front of people... I say I am in pain and expect them to believe me. That is the rant part.

?
Can a broken jaw cause infection if it is let go indefinately? Will fixing the jaw stop the infections? This is what I really want to know secondary question how on earth did my jaw get broken but I doubt you can answer that.
Thanks for your time. B
