Have a question :)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I need to know if there is anybody out there that may be having the same

problem as me.

First off, I am 2 weeks and 1 day post op. I had Bilateral Mandibular Sagital

Split/Advancement. My lower jaw was moved forward. I have been in braces since

08/12/03 (my B-Day present to myself) Anyway, I had my procedure done 10/14/04

and was not wired or banded when I left the hospital but when I went back 1 week

later for my first post op appointment my OS said that my jaw had shifted and

that I needed to wear bands to correct it. I have to wear a total of 5 rubber

bands. 2 on the left and 3 on the right (the right side is the side that shifted

so I am double banded on the right front side) OK so here is my

question.......Does anyone who is dealing with anything similar to this feel any

pressure in either ear? I feel pressure in my left ear. It kinda feels like and

ear infection without the ringing. I know it is due to the rubber bands because

when I remove them the pressure almost goes away completely. I was advised keep

them on 24/7 and are only allowed to remove them for eating

and for oral hhygiene I haven't had them off for long enough to find out if the

pressure would go away completely if they were not put back on. I am going to

see my OS on Monday so I am going to ask him. If it is something abnormal I am

going to go to my regular DR to have her check it out. I just wanted to know if

there are any members that could have experienced this to see if it common or

not. Let me know. Thanks
