In response to message #38

Hi Dee
Apologies in advance for my spelling lm way over due for bed!!!!
Welcome fellow Aussie, although l dont like to see anyone new join this club l do get a little excited when its an Aussie as we are a lone breed on here,
not sure if you have l numb lip or is it stiff, does it feel like it is still under anestetic??
Are you in pain ?
After 9 weeks have you been refered out to a oral nerve specialist, if not you should have been by now,
sorry what is genioplasty is it like plastic surgery???
my experience in terms of the actual trauma and effect is totally different than you, 4 wisdom teeth extracted in Albury NSW was excessively bruised and swollen for weeks, had a entire numb head inc scalp for 24 hrs man this guy shot me full of local while l was out to it, and it has resulted in a unusual {rare} so they say
neuropathic pain syndrome, due to nerve trauma, will never no hat exactly caused it, may have been just bad luck, bad local needle or bad surgeon, anyway l have like phantom toothaches in the upper left molars, burning pain in upper left socket,24/7 every day to some extent,
Now although we differ in cause and outcome l can totally understand your anxiety and poor sleep , is the sleep due to pain or stress?
if its pain , it is fixable as a GP local Dr if you explain the whole story will definetley help you , you can not heal if you cannot sleep,
Anxiety in my opinion is bred from fear of the unknown and loss of control, and all these things apply to us, we fear it may never end , we fear it is permanent , and we cant control what is happening,
Honestly l think you should have a chat with your GP as they can address all these thing, it is normal l promise, but you do need to know the specifics of you injury, what nerve was nicked , how does he know did he see it nicked or servered,what is his opinion of outcome, dont be afraid to ask for a referal for a second opinion,
arm yourself with heaps of knowledge about what has happened, a little knowledge is frightening so they say but learn as much as you can from your surgeon about the details and then do alot of reasearch on options, cause if this Dr is wrong and it is severed you only have a window of oppitunity to have it fixed,thats why l think you hould see someone else independent,
although we want to believe all Drs , dentist ect are good its just not true , they are human and they stuff up dont we all, but the difference is owning your mistake and moving heaven and earth to make your stuffed up patient feel like a person they are sorry for injuring and not an embarassment to there career that they want to sweep under the table.
i have said this l million times on this site that l believe 99% of those who are suing there dentists/Dr are doing so not because of an accident but because of the way they are treated afterwards, the exception being those who operated while on drugs or drunk { yep it has happened} these are not accident they are fools who dont deserve to have people lives in there hands,
sorry for going of track into a rant
try and be positive and not to worry to much but dont fear the unknown go out and find everything you can about what happened to you as l dont think you are being informed as you should be.
bye love ness |
