Anyone else caught in an injury loop? How do you escape?
 

Despite going slowly; cautiously, I bump into something after a week or two- usually related to a chair or seat.

I really hate chairs, but we need them. Left hip, right hip, head, right scapula, right knee, right forearm & pinkie- all smashed or crushed by parts of them.

That fires off the tooth nerve pain, which fires up the head pain.

I feel like I'm caught in a Catch-22.

Anyone ever try laser surgery to deaden a tooth nerve?

Thanks for your understanding. Sorry if this post bothers anyone.

It got really bad yesterday. Even w/my faith. The injury actually happened in church & I had to leave.

If you're suffering tooth problems, chances are it's calcium/vit d related. Plenty of fortified milk, vit d and a trip to the dentist.

Thanks, yes- 11 months ago, the dentist said there are tiny cracks down the front of both front teeth, but that I don't need a root canal unless the teeth turn grey.

I'm trying to take walks every day for the D.

I do all-natural yogurt every day, but need to get the raw milk going as well (hard to find).

Thanks for the input!

Jeffrey,

Have you tried using a numbing toothpaste? Something like Sensodyne?

Or Numzit (sp) or OraGel mouth numbing gel used to help with sore gums and babies with teeth coming in?

I thought about them, but should give them a try. Even if they're not all-natural, like Jason's (no flouride, even), they may help a lot. Thanks.

I reccommend sensodyne!! My issues are unrelated to my PCS, but since starting sensodyne, I've had a huge reduction in nerve pain!! I know that's what it is, because if I switch to a regular toothpaste (forgot mine on an overnight and used my boyfriends) it was back the next day.

It's worth a shot. Also, if you are truly in that much pain and your dentist refuses a root canal, go to another dentist. That kind of pain is debilitating and most dentists will do whatever needs to be done to decrease pain.

Hope this helps!

Never Ending!!!
