Last night I woke up 3 times in severe throbbing pain. My teeth again. This pain is so intense that I cry, (I am not a cryer). One move of my head the wrong way and it starts. Yesterday the pain started at 2 in the afternoon. I couldn’t eat, afraid to open my mouth. Later on in the evening I had a yogurt, that and oatmeal was all I ate.
The pain is hard to describe; it starts in my right upper back molar and shoots throughout the whole side of my face, it just throbs constantly for up to 10 minutes, it’s almost paralyzing, I can’t move and I bite my tongue under the tooth and hold the side of my head until it subsides and then I’m afraid to move a muscle.
I didn’t go to the garden today, I was afraid of it starting. I don’t do anything except wait for it to start again, just one wrong move. Last week I was taking Extra Strength Tylenol and it seemed to help. I saved my 800 mg of Ibuprofen for the night. I was out of the Tylenol yesterday and tried Extra Strength Excedrin, which is the same thing, didn’t work. Last night I took 3 ibuprofen’s 200 mg, obviously that didn’t work. Today I have new XS Tylenol but haven’t taken any yet because I’ve had no severe pain all day, just a few quick shocks of pain.
I want to be better so much, I’m wasting valuable time I could be outside or back at the garden. I can’t figure out how this pain is happening. The dentist took X-rays and poked around and I felt nothing, he has no explanation so he can’t help me. This happened when he gave me 3 root canal’s saying that would end it. After each one I still had the same pain.
Now since he pulled my back molar, it started up again. I am thinking of not getting a tooth implant because every time something’s done in my mouth this starts hurting again.
My question is; why and what is causing it? If it’s not the teeth then maybe it’s the nerves in my mouth? Is this in some way related to the MS? How can it be treated if nothing happens while I’m at the dentist or doctor? Finally, why can’t it be diagnosed properly and treated?
