Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I did call him and he said the pain was normal. He said if I developed a fever or swelling to let him know. He also said that with the type of extraction I had, it is very common to have the ache for a couple of weeks. I have also been on heavy antibiotics as well. So, I am taking his word for it. Thanks so for the suggestion. It was taken. a Cakedreams@... wrote: > You need to call your dentis.nbsp; You could have a dry socket or starting to >have an abscess formation.nbsp; > in SC > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 a, You might have a dry socket. It's more likely to happen from a tooth pulled on the lower jaw. You need to see your Dentist. Twenty years ago when I worked for a Dentist, He would place medication into the socket. The way the medical field changes so fast, that's probably changed. However, a dry socket needs medical attention. It could get allot worse.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi a, I'm a dental hygienist, and what you are describing is not unusual. Try liquids as you did when you first had your MGB surgery. If the pain is intense, you may have a dry socket and need to see the dentist again to have some medicine packed in the area. I hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 When I first started taking LDN my boss, who is also a very good friend, really enjoyed my almost daily stories of the changes I was seeing. Quite often they were pretty funny, at least to us with our rather adolescent sense of humor, like realizing one night in the wee hours (while wee-weeing...) that the toilet seat was cold in the middle of the night. For several years I was unaware of that particular aspect of night time bathroom visits, having totally forgotten it. I was pretty indignant about my re-discovery. When you can't feel the toilet seat your night time trips just don't wake you up quite as much. A cold toilet seat is an eye opener for sure. And then there was the day my right leg seemed to stick to the seat. This was the summer before LDN and I was pretty numb. At first I thought there was something sticky on the seat, like dog drool or toothpaste from over vigorous brushing, or I don't know what? Then I thought I had something sticky on my leg. In the summer I pretty much live in shorts and sit on the lawn a lot when pulling weeds, so I thought maybe some mud or plant material? Nope, nothing there. But the sticking thing continued and I finally decided it was just a weird MS thing, like the phantom lumps I used to feel on the bottoms of my feet. Until the day I sat down and the seat finally cracked all the way through. It had been cracked for days and it wasn't sticking to me it was PINCHING me. I thought my husband was going to hurt himself laughing. And of course my boss nearly rolled on the floor. Now this WAS sort of LDN related, in that my increased awareness of cold tile and cold seats is due to LDN. And I hope somebody laughed.
