Hi all, hoping to get some advice, I don't know what to do. NC'd for this post.
Been having pain in my upper teeth/cheekbone for about 8 months now. Dentist says its not teeth (2 x rays done), doctor says it is probably sinuses but hasn't actually looked into it. Had a blood test which was fine, was due x ray at hospital to check for sinus blockage but cancelled by hospital because they didn't think it would help(?) Have been prescribed 5 lots of antibiotics in that time and have been on progressively stronger painkillers. Am now taking cocodamol 30/500 alternating with neurofen every 3 hours. They are doing nothing. Pain has gotten to the point last night/today that I can't think properly, my eye is constantly streaming, I feel like I'm going to scream.
Called 111 a few weeks back with the same prob. They told me to take paracetamol (!) basically useless. Spoke to GP next day and got the cocodamol which helped for a while. Now at the point where the pain is unbearable again.
Do I go to a&e and wait for help? I dunno what they'll do to help me but I can't take another second. Feel like one side of my face is on fire. Can't believe how much it hurts.
Advice appreciated, literally desperate for help. Am in constant agony. Just need it to stop hurting.
