Hey all,
Have been suffering from really bad pains on the right side of my face since last week.
Been to the dentist and no holes were found in my teeth and the gums seemed fine.
She gave me an anti biotic as she suspected an infection somewhere in the jaw, or upper cheek area.
Now 4 days later the pain got worse and went to the dentist again.
Again all clear in my mouth and she was clueless.
She now referred me to a specialist as she was not sure what was causing the pains.
1. Could be jaw, inflamed due to grinding of my teeth which I do.
2. Could be still just an infection and anti biotics still need to do their work.
3. Trigeminal Neuralgia, a sudden pain in your face which is very rare and the cause is unknown.
I really hope it is still just a bad infection and it takes a bit longer to clear.
Just wanted to see if anyone else ever had an issue like this and how was it treated.
Painkillers don't work :-(
Maybe a bottle of whiskey does.
Mark.
