Hello, I m experiencing nerve pain in my jaw are after a bone biopsy was done over a year ago after I had a tooth pulled because of an abscess . Ever since then the are hasn t fully healed and it continues to hurt even more than a year after. I have been on pain meds ever since. Then in an attempt to relieve the pain, I had a nerve block procedure done where they inserted a needle in to my neck. Not sure exactly what was done, but something about blocking never ganglia. Furthermore I have HIV and have malaria in the past which I thought cause some sort of never damage. Should I just wait out the pain? Have a combinations of all of these things just caused that nerve never to be able to hear properly? Or I wonder if a never was actually cut accidentally. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
Hereafter reading your dental history I would say that you shouldn't have done nerve blockage treatment done. We should find the cause that y there is pain even after extraction. I would advise you to get a dental x-ray done of that area may be remnants of tooth is left pr may be there is spiny bony projection. If still the cause is not found then refer to neurologist.I would also advise youth maintain your oral hygiene rinse mouth with warm saline water twice daily. Vitamin supplements like European forte will help. Regards Chat Doctor.
