Ramsay Hunt syndrome is the result of an infected facial or cranial nerve. Where do they think the infection originally came from? Was all of the dental surgery done on the opposite side of the face?
Oh Shell...... this is the pits! How are you feeling now?

Hi Byranna,
Thanks for the concern.
THey are still trying to figure it all out. They believe I had a zoster outbreak ie the Ramsay Hunt and it was pretty much left sided which is opposite side of the implant surgery.
The intersting thing however is not far after the dental surgery that left eye started to constantly cry. It was infected and I let it go too long.
Actually when they opened up the tears ducts both were blocked.
They believe that the bacteria is aclled Actinomycosis which from alot of things I am reading exist in our mouths but can become aggressive after a dental surgery or from longstanding root canals chich I have a lot of.
Do you have any experience with this bacteria?
Can bone grafts that are used be infected with anything? How do they prep them? Are they steralized?
Since I still have constant headaches evenafter the surgery I am wondering if ther is other bone infected in the skull since I am having some cranial nerve involvement.
Any insight is appreciated.
