kmd,

With each of your posts you add different information that you neglected to mention in previous posts. So at this point I am confused as to what exactly you have been experiencing and at what intervals. I am also confused as to what you personally have been doing to the extraction site from the time the tooth was removed.

All too often, a dental patient will do things and use things that they think will help heal the surgical site and the end result is one complication after another. I am not sure if this is what has happened in your case or not because it is still not clear to me what has really taken place.

The original OS seems to be not all that concerned about your symptoms, which is unusual given the type of symptoms that you have stated here. At one point you say he's on vacation and you're scheduled with his referring dentist but then you say you only think he may be away. So I am confused as to who you are seeing, contacting ...., etc.

I wish I could help you but the information you keep providing keeps making this a larger puzzle than it needs to be and it's difficult to sort through. I hope you get in to see an OS and get a definitive diagnosis.
