I am at the end of my tether atm. It all started 4 months ago with a root canal in a tooth, that was still agonisingly painful so in desperation I had the tooth pulled out. Lots of pain followed, and it transpires that that the root of the tooth was in my sinus cavity, which has broken through and I now have a connection ie a hole through my gum through to my sinus's. They hoped it would heal itself but 3 sinus infections later (which involved massive amounts of pus coming out the gum) it's still there. Been referred to hospital to have the sinus wall repaired and x rays show the dentist left the base of a root inside my gum.
A few few weeks ago I noticed a strange heavy feeling in my gums above the molars in the opposite side of my face, a feeling of vague toothache then not long after horrendous toothache in those 2 molars and pain around my upper and lower jaw. I also have a non stop headache. Been back to the dentist who can't find anything wrong with the teeth and prescibed Metronidazone ab's. No change. Went to the doctor who diagnosed facial neuralgia and has prescribed Tegretol been on it for a week with no change. Back to the hospital specialist who has prescribed another lot of ab's penicillin this time.
I am confused and feel so ill I can hardly move, I wake up with the pain maneagable but around 3pm it is like my mouth is on fire and it subsides a little in the evening until I go to sleep then it goes.
Can anyone identify with this or what it could be and give me some hope that there's light at the end of the tunnel as I am feeling desperate.
