Default Jaw infection vs head edema--viral infection ?

I have a very serious situation--would appreciate an answer before I wind up in icu FOR weeks. Situation--i have a bad headache, pain in the LEFT side of the jaw, (just below the left TMJ joint), soreness on the left side of my head and pain, naseua, dizziness, some ear ringing.. I have NOT vomited or lost consciousness. I have had a slight fever (around 100 no higher).

History this week--Its been a BAD week for me medically--I was already seen in the ER for abdominal pain and for passing a kidney stone. I passed the stone...I do not know if it tore the urinary tract they refused to test me..i DID have blood in my urine..the urine color has returned to normal in past 2 days..as to the Abdomen..I beleive I have an umbilical hernia AND a possible partial bowel obstruction ( I have not had a normal BM in over a week except for a loss of bowel control last thursday night) I tried to get a CT of the abdomen in the ER and all they did was do a NON contrast study to look for kideny stones..I insisted on a contrast study to look for hernia (I HAVE HAD 3 previosu hernias and small umbilical tear--it could have gotten worse--causing loss of bowel control and constipation--I was DENIED.

I also have left elblow soreness

I have some very strange blood markers that came back from the ER--CHECK OUT THESE CRAXY MARKERS;

Glucose 142 (range65-99)
MONO PRCT 0.6% range 3.4 to 9.0)
LYMPH PERCT--get this one 6.0 range 1`9-48)
zMCHC- 32 (RANGE OVER33)
mcv 96 RANGE UP TO 94
lym ABS-- 0.5% range--0.9-5.2
MONO ABS-- 0.1 range 0.2 and higher

what i beleive I have are three seperate issues

1)I passed a 2mm kidney stone causing some blood and imperfections in urine
2) Possible abdominal /colon blockage and or hernia -I have pain in left groinm/ pain in ambdomen (middle , left, right all lower parts)-_i have a hisotry of 3 inguinal surgeries (WHY 3---because the first surgeon made a mistake using NON dissolving stiches causing severe nerve entrap,ment which needed 2 surgical fixes). A Bowel obnstruction is an emergency--i was alteady in an ER and refused care--they never even sent a GI doctor to examine me--My abdomen is swollen and I have not had a BM i an week and have severe pain.

3)NOW in the past 48 hours--i developed a bad headache, jaw pain on left side, soreness on top of left side of head---what is going on here--did I develop an INFECTION in teh bRAIN-_EDEMA ? MENINGITIS or JAW INFECTION with such a LOW RESISTENCE that was NOT given any anti-biotics (NO IV drip or anti-biotic to take home from ER). IDID have recent oral surgery--TWO AVERPLASTY surgferies whic hare quite painful (bone shavin g) i have a very damaged oral situation--missing many upper teeth--severe daamge to lower right--a toot h on the right I am told is absessed but is not currently causing pain on the right..the pain is on the LEFT JAW arounfd and below the TMJ joint---I had to keep my mouth open a long time

What can I do? Bring this story to ANOTHER ER...they are all the SAME in NYC..they dont pay attention anymore and wont do tests unless you have ahigh fever or vomiting..although my symptoms--no BM and bloated abdomen and SORE HEAD are very serious---i was sent HOME from TWO ER's this week and told 'see your specialists"

I beleive I have an emergency with a severe headache and sore head---any opinions--if it is a jaw infection what can I do at home?
