Re: Treatment for numbness

[Guest guest]

Rod, I'm not sure what new procedure you are talking about but from

what I read this is where the skill of the surgeon comes in. He has to

make the cut and " tease " the nerve out of the canal in the bone

carefully to free it up without damaging it. this way when he

stretches the bone the nerve stretches instead of breaking and when he

installs the screws he has to make sure that it is resting back in the

canal so as to not pinch it. when i had my wisdom teeth pulled at age

27 the impacted one left a numb spot on my chin for over a year. I'm

now 4 months out of surgery (at 43) and already have most the feeling

back in my chin and lips and it's getting better every day. hope that

helps/eric

Thanks for this. The trouble is I cannot remember any of the detail

concerning what was involved beyond the claim by the poster that the

effect of the method/treatment was rather positive. Or maybe I was

imagining

I have along way to go before my day of reckoning. Another 18 months -

2 years of orthodontics before the surgery. I will then be close to 63

and I am starting to wonder if the last step is going to be worth the

suffering at my age. Mind you I am very happy with the progress to

date. With a little pushing forward of the lower jaw I can almost get

a functional bite - a 4mm improvement in 10 months and I no longer

bite my tongue (literally)

Rod, I think I found what you were looking for. Dr. Leon Assael

performs nerve repair surgery with good success. He now works where I

got my bimax done but unfortunately he didn't do the procedure. check

out the following links. good luck/eric

Yes! and thank you for the effort in finding this. I will raise this

with my surgeon when next I se him. There is quite a discussion on the

links you provided and maybe others might wish to check there.

I just hope there is someone skilled in doing this in Melbourne

(Australia) should it be required

, posted message 82078 with the answer. It seems to involve

additional surgery to repair damaged nerves. You might wish to look up

some of the responses there to guage the efficacy of the treatments.

Good luck. The original post I referred to was earlier this year but I

cannot remember the month.

Your numbness seems to be quite extensive. I wish for you that it

continues to abate. To be honest this is something that is starting to

be a concern for me at 61.

Rod, if you're willing to explore non-invasive alternatives, you

might also check out homeopathic treatment. The viewpoint there is

that numbness is " stuck healing " and homeopathy offers a means to

kickstart the body's healing again.

I can't give a particular remedy as a practitioner will want to take

a complete history and use what is best suited to your particular

constitution.

Hi

Many thanks for your advice.

I am willing to consider if it can be demonstrated that it has worked

on patients in the past. I am concerned that a lot of emotion prevails

in the area of alternative medicine and a lot of outright bunkum. To

illustrate my concerns - my wife suffers badly from an arthritic

condition at the base of her thumb. A university trial of a new

ointment invovling over 80 participants showed no improvement yet on

TV recently the same ointment was hailed as a wonder treatment for the

very complaint my wife suffers. There was no mention of the lack of

success in the vast majority of participants in the trial and the

report concentrated somewhat dubiously on two who " felt " there was an

improvement. So I am willing to consider but prefer hard and

scientific evidence of success.

Hi Rod,

You'll have to do your own surfing for info on this. I have read that

there are studies out there, but I'm not the one to convince you of

it. The medical community definitely doesn't embrace it, which is a

shame. My own doctor was not opposed to any of the treatments I

undertook - she says that allopathic medicine can only go so far, and

that she encourages her patients to explore alternative treatments.

I do know that it's relatively inexpensive compared to other

treatments and if you've had no success with other treatments, it

might be a consideration.

Hi

I am willing to try - I have plenty of time yet as I am not facing

surgery for 18-24 months yet. But as I suggested earlier at my age is

the benefit worth the pain? I don't want to be a doddery old dribbler

too early in my life lol. Any suggestions in the meantime on a

starting point would be appreciated and anything I come up with I will

pass onto the group.

Hi Rod,

I only had lower, but I had it at age 56, almost 57. My periodontist,

in particular, says it saved my teeth by fixing my " destructive bite. "

For me it was well worth the trouble, which was minimal, really. I

know that the memory of pain diminishes as the years pass -- that was

more than two years ago now -- but I really did not have the

difficulties many suffer. Not much swelling; not enough to bother,

anyhow. No numbness. And I was neither wired nor banded, although I

did have that gorgeous splint wired in for seven weeks.

As for your wife's thumb: I think that happens pretty frequently with

women. It does with me, and I go in several times a year for

cortisone shots in the joint, which help from time to time but can't

be used too frequently.

The other thing I found that really does help (aside from Celebrex

and other prescription pain stuff) is Glucosamine Chondroitin. My

doc, who is a rheumatologist, said it's important to get the sulfate,

rather than the hydrochloride form, as some docs think it's actually

the sulfa that helps. It took a long time -- 6 months or so -- for it

to kick in for me, but it did produce appreciable results.

I hope she gets some relief. It's miserable, I know.

As for your wife's thumb: I think that happens pretty frequently with

women. It does with me, and I go in several times a year for

cortisone shots in the joint, which help from time to time but can't

be used too frequently.

The other thing I found that really does help (aside from Celebrex

and other prescription pain stuff) is Glucosamine Chondroitin. My

doc, who is a rheumatologist, said it's important to get the sulfate,

rather than the hydrochloride form, as some docs think it's actually

the sulfa that helps. It took a long time -- 6 months or so -- for it

to kick in for me, but it did produce appreciable results.

I hope she gets some relief. It's miserable, I know.

Hi Rod,

Sorry I missed this in the flurry of work over the last day or so.

If you want to try, I'd suggest looking for a registered homeopath or

naturopath in your area. The thing that is quite different from

alleopathic medicine is that they spend much more time on getting a

full history of you as an individual, maybe an hour or more at first

visit. The treatments can be different for different individuals.

They may do a treatment initially for specific symptoms (like the

numbness) and go further with what they call " constitutional "

remedies later.

That's the best I can do for you, it's an individual research project

unfortunately as far as finding someone you can relate to and trust.

The person I saw charged me all of $30 each visit, which included the

remedies. That's very affordable in my books.

Good luck, let me know if you do decide to go forward with it.
