s4d,
Did you actually see the oral surgeon who performed the extractions? That is who you need to see. Not another dentist or doctor or nurse.The surgeon will know what took place during the surgery and he should have recorded all of that in his surgical notes.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, your physician (MD) can only prescribe drugs because he has no clue about your dental surgery. Drugs are never without side effects or interactions with other things. So although they may be okay to use short term, I hope you realize that it may not be wise to look to this as a long term solution.

I have rang my gp and explained all this and he has prescribed me Lyrica which is apparently specifically for nerve pain. I have just taken one now so fingers crossed it does something because I am really at my wits end now!!  |
