Trigeminal Neuralgic pain from molar extraction
 

Hi, I'm a new member and have read some of your stories along the same lines as mine- dental-related neuralgic pain. In Oct 2021, a dodgy dentist wrenched on my upper left back molar #27 for 20 minutes until it finally cracked and released from its socket, leaving me with dry socket and immense pain that no medication could touch. I chose to do colloidal silver instead of antibiotics. I really had no idea how dire this whole exercise was, extracting a tooth being so life-ruining!
Since that fateful day, I've suffered immense pain that's been diagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgic Pain (TNP) by a neurologist who prescribed me 25 mg Lyrica 2-3x/day for the weird pain behind my nose (especially when I talk or ingest anything inflammatory). Also a burning, hot sensation along my left gums and tongue. which also increases with anything inflammatory or too much talking. it's all very exhausting, and my energy is lower now.

I've also lost a lot of bone, so my face is sagging on the left side, including my ear lobe!!! I am a female, so this really sucks with earrings etc.
I want to be out of pain, and off meds. I've heard that NUCCA Doctor could release the trauma of the nerve so that it could start to repair.
Others tell me nerves never repair, but I refuse to believe that. The human body will always try to heal itself.
Brian from Hippocrates suggested the following:
1) fix with Nucca
2) realign with Pulse Magnetic therapy
3) Ingest/supplement with exosomes and peptides?

Has anyone else gone down this road to heal a similar issue???
From reading about NUCCA and related upper cervical chiros, I'm not so sure it will actually fix the neuralgia/ release the nerves. I've had an atlas adjustment before, and I can't imagine it fixing something like the trigeminal nerve along my jaw.
Thanks so much for any leads

I have a very similar neuralgia. Mine is nerve damage in the sinus from a really bad infection. Is it the upper molar? If so my surgeon can probably help. I had thermal lesioning of the intraorbital nerve. Although I have an appt Monday to see about another procedure.. if your pain is in the front molars he can likley make it stop. That is the same nerve and mine was successful but still have one branch that hits my sinus that isn’t leasioned. Contact WVU Rockerfeller neurological institute. Dr Konrad is my neurosurgeon. Good luck! Hard to put into words how terrible it is. I have atypical like yourself and it is almost always at a 3 to 5 on the pain scale with multiple flares to ER level daily. Super hard.

I was miserable with sinus infections for many years and they always required antibiotics to knock them out. A dentist once told me that an infected tooth could definitely cause a sinus flareup but she said it would have to be a tooth in the upper jaw.
