Exercised induced tooth pain in ALL my teeth

[TeethonFire]

Does anyone else have this?

I've name changed for privacy.

I had two traumatic dental procedures in the same tooth in a 15 month time frame. My mouth is difficult to numb so it was pretty awful the first time but the second time was less awful.

Since the second torture session I have been having quite severe pain in ALL my teeth at the same time, but only when I walk uphill faster than normal and/or carry a heavy rucksack uphill. It goes away by itself but is really distressing and making me stressed that it will happen every time I walk up a hill, which is several times a day due to where I live.

I've been to the GP who referred me to the chest pain clinic. They discharged me saying my cardiac risk was 1%. I have been back to the GP who is baffled but said to go to A&E is any chest pain again. I have been to A&E this week due to prolonged pain in the teeth and a slight pain/discomfort in my chest and referred back to the chest pain clinic. Remnants from covid or asthma or just stress perhaps.
ECGs ok, troponin undetectable, other bloods ok, don't smoke, don't drink, BMI 20.8, vegetarian for decades, walk about 15-20 hours, yes hours, a week easy because I don't drive. I'm 48 and perimenopausal.

My dentist is lovely and I trust him implicitly having known him since 1992/3. He sent me for one of those X-rays of the full jaw-an OPG-and is querying it being neurological. My teeth themselves are fine.

It's really quite alarming when it happens and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience and if so can recommend anything to help it.

are you the one with the glue on teeth and the dentist shaved off too much you think and you want to sue?

Could be a long-shot, but sometimes dental pain, especially pain that can't be pinned down to a particular tooth/teeth can be trigeminal neuralgia.

I have it and one trigger for me is exercise. The cause is sometimes an artery pressing on the nerve in the brain, and if you exercise and raise your heart rate then it pulses more on the nerve and aggravates it.

You would probably have other symptoms, but it's worth asking the question maybe?

I am prone to sinusitis and never have completely clear sinuses but that's been the case for about 20 years.

@ThePinkBiscuit no, that's not me. My dentist is great and I recommend him to anyone asking for a dentist in the area.

The roots of the upper teeth are very close to the sinuses. I am also prone to sinusitis, sometimes I am convinced I have toothache starting because it’s painful when I bite down but actually its is inflammation starting in my sinuses.

When my teeth hurt on one side or just a few of them in my upper jaw I know it's my sinuses but this is every single tooth. It's a searing pain.

Walking uphill or faster is more physical and it increases the blood flow in your mouth, makes inflammation worse /painful.If you had extensive dental work and given you have no gingivitis or a sinus infection ( upper jaw pain is a strong indication of sinus issues) it may take a while to settle.

Just to add I already take amitriptyline for chronic headaches along with regular paracetamol and dihydrocodeine for other chronic pain.

I'm going to start wearing my mouth guard at night and see if that helps. I don't like how it feels but it might help.

I sometimes get wider spread teeth pain if I clench. Any chance you are clenching while you exercise?

@LoveTheRainAndSun I do hold myself tense but I'm often chatting while I walk so I can't clench then. It's only uphill and when going faster than normal, that's the weirdest thing.
