I am having a really bad attack right now after a 3 day remission. Have only ibprofen & gabapentin for meds. Trying to sleep it won’t let me. I do have lidocaine ointment put on the side of my face, not helping can i put it directly on my gums, would that help?
How about a reasonable dose of Gabaptn. The other stuff surely won’t work
Take it easynow
Call and Ask your pharmacist!
Any liquor in the house? Put some in cotton ball and place in area of pain.
Hi
Its sounds like you are going through a bad patch. I am very sorry you are suffering. Please call your Doctor and tell him/her that the "break through" pain is very bad. Perhapse, they can send an order (Tegrital or apain killer) to the phramacy . Also, perhapse you can check in wit a therapist as well. This might give you an oppurtunity to ramp up your coping skills...
Hang in There!
Thanks Ernestine, but i drank the liquor lol.
Thank you also Edster for your reply… Problem is i don’t have official dx yet, no pain meds for me yet. I see an oral surgeon the 29th hoping he is a good Dr and believes me. I go to the VA and alot of the drs there just brush you off. I have fybromialgia, OA and bulging discs and the rhumatologisy told me that basically i was getting old and my pain threshold was lowered so i need to exercise more and increase my natural endorphins.
I wanted to punch him in the face. If only they could live in our bodies for a day and experience the pain anod anxiety we go thru they wouldn’t be so quick to say here’s some ibuprofen, go work out, you’ll be ok. No i think it would be more like here’s a bunch of morphine lmao. Pain threshold my butt. I’ve had two babies with only local anesthesia worked on airplanes hauling 300 lb radar transmitters up and dowm a rickety ladder for 6 yrs in the
Navy and have an almost complete arm sleeve tatoo. I know all about pain… Sorry for rambling on guess i needed ti get that out. Ok now oooohhsssaaa just aboutbreathe
