OK....hope SOMEONE can point me in the right direction; I am tired of hitting brick walls behind every door I open.
In 2005 I had oral surgery: Partial jaw disection and reconstrution with fibula free...things have only gotten worse for me...short version; I continue to have major swelling and pain on an hourly basis. And because my fibula is too thin, I live with possible fracturing.
No infection at or around wounded area; however, in January, I had a low grade fever which let to a massive sore throat, dry heves....went to er, was told I had allergies, went to a dentist was told I had an abcess and cavities...
this month same symptoms...when right to another dentist and was told nope you don't have abcesses nor do you have cavities where previous dentist said I had...just the one tooth they fixed MIGHT not have gotten cleaned out right....
My jaw swells worse around my cycle. So I went to my family doc and asked for birth control pills to stop my cycle so I will have minimum swelling. I had side effects to the pills but worked my way through it but when I had a 'break through' my face swelled 100% worse...so I had to quit the pills.
Oral surgen cut my gland so I thought I had gland issues, had some symptoms that indicated thyroid problems....did a battery of bloodwork...end result; not gland related.
Daily I have teeth sifting, gum swelling, jaw swelling, incesion swelling, ear pain...which eventually leads to neck pain, shoulder pain...when I get a low grade fever and sore throat I emediately go to er (who tell me, oh you only have allergies) dentist (who says, this is puzzling, no infections...or you have abcesses) I get them fixed only to be back in the same boat a few months later....
I am trying to deal w/ the jaw issues, I understand it is for life, but these other underlying issues are become the straw which is about to break the camels back....
Please, ANY advice
Warm Regards
