eventually end but it hurts to bad. Im glad he was direct when talking to me about filling an rx for pain meds again. He put me on another week of the 875mg of Amoxicillin 2xday. And said he really does want me to take both oral and nasal decongestants. Im kinda worried about what you said, Bryanna, about the nasal decongestant but definitely wants me using nasal decongestant and now urges me to use the oral decongestant even though I have ADHD (last week he said not to because of ADHD). I really thought it was getting better because i was feeling better. I didn't think the packing was helping my sinus stuff heal (I know its strictly to numb area within any dry socket).. In fact the first two packing aggravated my sinuses and it seemed like made more fluid.. Then Sunday i began feeling better within the sinus areas... And i felt really good today...until her removed the packing. Of course the dry socket pain has returned but now the sinus pressure has returned and my everything is all whacky again.
I know people are facing much more serious illness and pain that what I am and don't complain a bit but i dizzy, i can barely talk again because if i closing my lips as i enunciate it creates that suction that is bad for the hole (not to mention the pain). I have to walk around with my mouth hanging open and i look ridiculous. My joint in my jaw is just shot....it hurts so bad that its throbbing. OS doesn't think i have an infection because im on antibiotics, i don't have fever, and he just doesn't think it looks like i have an infection.

The 2nd opinion dds office is wonderful and have (while on defense, seems like they still think im out to sue the first DDS- I think the OS is still being cautious about it. Anyway, the office manager has been in touch with by calling and emailing me to update me on the status of receiving my records and xrays. She's been really trying to get them from them because I wanted the OS to look at them and go over them with me cuz of how the original DDS was concerned, it seemed, about something other than the area within close proximity of the extraction site. OS has the one xray of just the extraction area that the 2nd opinion DDS but he hasn't seen any of the xrays that show any other part of my mouth or sinuses. Although my immediate issue is of course this "fistula" but i really am worried about how the original dds was looking at other xrays... She wasn't just going over to rule of problems.... She found something of concern but wouldn't tell me what it was. I know it sounds weird and hard to believe, but she really did... I cant express how obvious she was about it and then at the same time telling me that she wasn't going to tell me yet ...(then she would fade off insinuating something looked suspicious but not say anything). It was weird. I know its possible all of that was simply about the fistual.. But it seems so strange to me. If she in fact unintentionally perforated it i don't understand why she didn't just say that it happened so she could prescribe me more antibiotics to prevent infection and give me special care instructions to prevent infection in the sinus area. ...and it really bothers me that she was concerned about the upper portion of the xrays .. And asked me "do you ever get headsaches". ... First of all, why would a professional include 'ever' in that question? ...I mean, i would love to meet a person that does not ever get headaches.
Anyway, the 2nd opinion dental office both emailed and faxed my release form to them for the last few days, and they finally responded in email to them yesterday. However it was just a standard... Front desk girl..saying that, yes, they have reached the correct office. Still no xrays... And yes all of them are digital images, and instructions to email and the new dentists email address is on the form. I had also emailed them last week asking them what i needed to do to pick up my records and xrays, but they didn't even respond.
I work for a prestigious university that also has a large world renowned research hospital. I found this DDS office because they advertise on our HR site for a percentage of some cosmetic services. Obviously that was not what I went what to them for but that's how i found them. With this ignoring my request for xrays... Has helped me make my decision that im going to have HR remove the listing from our web site. They are not simply too busy and forgot to send them because the office is incredibly slow, as I believe they only opened very recently and she does not have a patient base in this area. She received her bs in bio locally, after being a chemist, she earned doctorate in dental surgery and a well known dental school and did her fellowship in Switzerland. Do a lot of people do that? I heard someone mention they did something similar. To me it seems strange but i obviously do not know much about dentistry.

Thank you so much for everything you do on this board.
