Hey girl! Just checking on you today and hoping and praying the pain has eased up some.

OK all i have been at my mom's all day she has been helping me with my baby as i am in pain. Well the pain has not gone away and i slept pretty much all day long when i woke up and realized it was hurting a little worse i again called the dentist but they were already closed so i asked for the on call dentist to call me back. He did call me and i explained the situation to him and told him i could barely open my mouth and he had the nerve to tell me this"Why are you having me call you why didn't you call during business hours? There is no way he could have damaged or even broken your jaw and if the pain pills aren't working then you should stop taking them and take ibuprofen you will have to wait till tomorrow to talk with the dentist you seen also you probably have a dry socketHe was so ignorant to me all i wanted was to see if they could get me a diff pain med and just ask if i should be in this much pain and i also asked him well would a dry socket cause me to have pain opening my mouth and he told me no so i don't get it. Also i have noticed that i am having a lot of pain where he gave me the shots and on the inside of my cheek i have a huge blue line where he gave me one of the shots. Both sides of my jaw are hurting now i can't lay down because there is so much pressure on my jaw even if i lay on my back. So i am going to call another dentist tomorrow not really sure what they can do for me. I am so upset i don't know what to do.

That is the BEST news I've heard since I learned of your problems. Hopefully the new dentist can do something more for you than these two idiots!!! I can NOT believe what the on call dentist told you - the longer this goes on for you, the more it seems like I'm just gonna have to hop on that plane after all - there seems to be someone in dire need for me to open this big ol huge can of whoop azz I have - and I know there's more than enough to go around for BOTH those idiots. It is so unecessary for you to be in the severe pain you are in. Ya know, if you get no where tomorrow - my advice, head to the ER. Sure, you had mouth work done and the ER docs don't "specialize" in that BUT.....they CAN give you something stronger for the pain and might have a dentist who's on staff at the hospital they can call in to come see you. Of course, going to the ER will cost more but - to get an answer and some MUCH needed pain relief, it will be worth it!

We're headed up to the deer camp tomorrow afternoon and I won't be back online until Saturday night or Sunday morning so I'll check for updates before I leave work tomorrow afternoon and then when I get home Saturday night. Sending you lots of prayers and (((((((hugs))))))) that something gets done tomorrow!!

Well i'm giving an update i was not able to get in to the dentist he didn't have any appts available but the good news is i'm feeling a little better i can actually open my mouth and the pain is becoming manageable with the pills so i will wait till monday when he can get me in (this is the dentist my mom goes to and she trusts him) If it gets any worse i will go see someone else thanks everyone for your support!
