Spectacle wearers

I had a horrendous time at the dentist when i was first diagnosed (sorry for going off the vision problems). :cry:

I had an awful sensitive tooth and and went through horrendous root canal treatment. I had an enormous amount of local anaesthetic and it was still sensitive during treatment. Eventually after the fourth attempt my tooth cracked and it had to be removed. It was very traumatic. :twisted: I felt so ill afterwards. :cry:

I now have similar pain on the next tooth. :cry:

I was reading up on a website (can't remember which one) about the connection with fibromyalgia and tooth pain and i wonder if the pain wasn't due to dental pain. I have a young dentist so may ask him about it next time. :?

LOL well I went to work this m orning with a full set of teeth. Came home with half a tooth missing and now lost another quarter.

I too had root canal treatment on this tooth about 2 years ago and today it cracked in half. Now just need to lose the other quarter and I will have had a tooth out for free :shock: Wonder if I can get a refund lol

Melbi x

Scan went okay with no hiccups or asthma attacks.

Hope you all have a great weekend x

Glad your scan went well Melbi, no sign of the surgery :roll:

I have to wait now for the doctor to ring or write with an appointment.

Having said that my physiotherapist today said if I ring him when I get the appointment and go to see him he will write to the doctor suggesting they just remove the fragments of bone to see if that helps with the pain as he says the replacement of the radial head is quite an intrusive operation. He says I need to get a very clear picture as to why he wants to do the replacement and will that guarantee I will be pain free after recovery.

Why oh why did I fall down the stairs :cry: :cry: :cry:

He wants me to seriously consider if I can cope with the pain or not before agreeing to go ahead with the operation.

Now I'm thinking do I really want an operation to clear the fragments of bone and then risk the need for more surgery later to have the replacement or do I say okay go ahead do the replacement and have done with it! Decisions, decisions. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Melbi x

It depends how much pain you are in. :evil:

Do you want to take the chance and have the fragments removed, maybe this will do the trick. It's a hard decision but only you can make it Melbi.

Good luck

Hi Melbi

Glad that the scan went okay ... I was wondering how you had got on

Removing any fragments would be able to be done by keyhole surgery, I would think ..... it may well be the answer.

It's hard to know what to do for the best sometimes :roll:

Sorry about your teeth ... in fact I am going to start a new thread in a minute 'cos I have quite a bit to say about teeth and ME.

Take care

thanks guys

the pain is bad enough for me to lose sleep (main concern) but can also come on so suddenly and so sharp it makes me grab my elbow or forearm and squeal or gasp for breathe.

the pain is sharp and intense but not constant. Sadly this pain can come on whether I am resting or using it so no pattern.

painkillers will take the dege of the moderate pain put the sever pain knocks me for six so I really do need to think carefully about any operation.

LOL just watch, I;ll go back and the doc will ay all is okay and no op required. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Physiotherapist thinks there is mkore going on in my arm than the recent fracture. Will just have to wait and see what the scan shows.

Thanks again all for your kind words

Back to big brother and wiggling the quarter of tooth left in.

Melbi xx

glad your scan went ok Melbie. Big decisions for you. I don't know about you bet since having me I can't decide on anything. The brain can't handle things due to brain fog. At times I can't even decide what I want to eat.

Thankfully I don't have CFS to deal with.

I do wake most mornings....well okay every morning with stiff joints and takes a while to get going but arthiritis is very strong in our family and my mum has suffered from it from her early 40's. In fact she went off sick aged 43 with severe pain in neck and shoulders and never returned to work :cry:

I have arthiritis in my left knee and both hands and wrists. I suffered a slipped disc some years ago in my neck but the exercises I was given by a physio seems to help keep that under control - if it does slip both my daughters know where to add pressure so I am really lucky argghhh! remind me i said that the next time it slips out LOL

Sorry adverts came and went and forgot what I'm supposed to be saying :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
