Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi Sara, The pain is located on the right hand side in the upper gum area above where the jaw was segmented. My OS stated that a plate is right above this area. I can feel a big bump in this area. As of now it is going to be an outpatient procedure unless he finds something when he opens the area up. He is hoping to go in and clean out the area and possibly remove some of the plates and screws. I am glad to hear that you did get your bottom braces off, but so sorry you had to endure all that pain. Yikes, almost makes me happy that I haven't had to go through that just yet! Maybe I better hold off on wanting the braces off for Christmas..(haha) Well at least you did get half of them removed and maybe it is best you are getting a little break before getting the uppers removed after what you went through. I will keep you in my thoughts and fingers crossed those uppers will be a breeze to remove. I will keep you posted about Tuesday & thanks for that huge virtual hug which I am sending back at ya for having to go through all that pain! --Caboose > > > > > > > > > > > > Just wanted to quickly update all my buddies that I may be > > > having > > > > > > another 2nd surgery this upcoming Tuesday to see what is > > > causing > > > > > this > > > > > > pain and soreness.
