Left-face tingling bad today

Carotids area hurt and feel weird. Tmj joint near them. I know he upset the delicate balance of nerves and weins and everything in that area by pushing so rough. Left eye area tingling, too..i cannot handle this. If i thought it would heal and id b ok id sthu and just wait. But its constantly something nrw. My poor body. I've been feeling physically unwell since this happened. Ty all for listening

I need a Dr wholl listen help and understand me. Everyday i wake up hoping this is the day I'll feel better and things won't be so bad, but that's not happening

Perhaps talk with your primary care physician and explain everything. If it is specifically nerve pain (neuropathic pain) or chronic rebound pain, there may be a role for gabapentin (or pregabalin) or amantadine among other options (but I am only mentioning the NON-opioids and not other classes of drugs that can be more problematic). Primary care physicians should be familiar with that approach or should recognize the role of a pain clinic referral.

Perhaps your PCP would even agree to discuss/consult with the dentist about your current care?

But have nme flexitril. I asked him gor referral to jaw clinic. Supposedly that was sent over. The dentist injured me and i do not want them involved like happened when i tried to c a md specialist. I get a semy angry call from the dentist. I was shocked i was willing to pay but it was referral only.

I paid so much for this tmj tx. Very depressed and anxious. I'll end up in the er I'm sure

by blocking some nerve impulses to the brain from muscle spasms and related.

I am sorry for the complications you are experiencing.
