I didn't really take the Cipro. When she showed me the X-Rays of my gums and they weren't inflamed I didn't really take it.

By "I didn't really take it", I mean.. I may've taken up to 3 before I KNEW it wasn't working. I am not too worried this was caused by Cipro as it was around before I ever took it but thank you for the information. The Cipro was given after she Rx'd some weaker anti-biotics. I took those as directed for several days before I realized something was wrong.

During the weekend of hell in October it just felt like the tooth was trying to compress itsself from the inside.

Like, you can take your hands and put them on opposite sides of a basketball. Using both hands push towards the center of the basketball.

Imagine the tooth was the basketball and imagine the tooth walls were trying to cave in. That's the best way to explain how the pain was.

I haven't experienced that since that weekend, but you can imagine I am now very paranoid, depressed and fearful that this will happen again. My quality of life has vastly decreased since the 'diagnosis' of TN.
