Fillings, Maddening Pain Through the 8th Day...worsening Posted: 01-28-07 01:31am
i had a filling (metal ones replaced with
composite) done "close to my nerve root"
last friday. It's now saturday night, 8
days later, and I am in agonizing level 10
pain (deep aching and throbbing). What
are possible causes...Infection?
Sensitivity? ? ????? ? I have to
wait until monday to call my dentist...I
just thought my jaw muscles flared up and
were pinching a nerve because i've had
lower and upper jaw pain, pain up the side
of my face, my nose, my upper left front
and bottom teeth, to the side of my
tongue, around the left side of my eye and
above... Agh!!!!!!!!!! Just took two
aleve, hoping that will help in the
meantime. It was feeling so much better,
and then I ate a little bit, a banana, a
few olives, and some cucumber. No pain
while I was chewing it, but oh my god it
is killing me now. Any advice or
experience with this? I wonder if I
should go to the emergency room to make
sure it isn't something that might get
considerabley dangerous, but I don't think
they'll be able to do anything except give
me pain killers until I see my dentist...
