Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Some of you may remember my posts to others within the past few days where I complained that the right side of my jaw was hurting. Well, after tossing and turning all night long, at about 4 in the morning I decided as soon as I woke up that I would call my OS. I woke up at 7am with my jaw aching, but also my neck and the upper part of my back hurting more than I ever had in my life. I panicked, tried to sit up and the pain was even worse. In tears I called my husband into the room. He brought me a pain pill, had me go back to sleep, and called the OS' office when they opened. My OS is back east on a trip, but thank goodness the OS who assisted during my surgery told me to come right in. The xrays showed a crack going from side to side off of my original split from the surgery. Also, in addition it seems that I am getting ANOTHER infection. I am 6 1/2 weeks post op and was released last Friday to start chewing. The OS said to stick to softer foods and come back into the main office on Friday so he could compare today's xrays with past ones. I know that when fell they said she had cracked her jaw again. I've been extra careful and have had no injuries to my face. Has anyone else cracked their jaw post surgery? If so, did you also experience extreme back and neck pain? I appreciate any experiences any of you may have had. Thank you. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
