My whole R side of my face was huge! He had to numb it then drain all the (I hate to say it!) pus out! Then he told me that I would have to go and have that tooth extracted.(sp?) In the meantime I am on Amoxicillin 500MG.I sure hope that this is not the starting of more of this! Already my R ear is hurting again! Please get back to me if anyone has gone thru this? Breezy55Thanks so much,and may you have a pain free day!  |
I think my jaw pain, RSD, is a bit different issue..as I also have pain from the right back side of my jaw forward to the middle of my jaw...our difference being..my xray does not show an infection..and I have a 'halo' around the nerve root of my last tooth which is in the nerve bed of my jaw..below a tooth that has had a previous root canal, no nerve present..so pain is not possible there..I have been seeing an endodontist (Dr. who did the root canal many yrs, ago)..he believes this is RSD in the nerve root of my jaw..and let me tell ya..it is relentless pain which goes the length of my jaw..it can last for weeks on end and keeps me from eating properly...
I wish all the best for you on this issue...
Take care, Kathy
