The area is not as tight but im still need tooth 15th replaced and that might be causing strain on my muscles as well. Another problem I have is the nose stuffiness, its been so diffucult, Ive been off the nasal spray but probably caused more damage to my nose. This all started from a botched root canal done last year in Feb. Life has been hard. IM going to another ENT in Los ANgeles to see what I can do, it sucks not to breath normal.
