the meds are not working for the pain.

Dr. did not tell me to increase it so I am stuck. Thinking of calling him to ask about that.

I am still having pain when I bite down on a tooth, next to the one I thought was hurting. I have a bridge on that one. I hope I won't need to have it taken off. If I do, I may have to go back to that other dentist who ripped me off.

I am confused about this.

I was hoping I had a definite diagnosis.

I went to a new dentist; he does not want to touch the bridge. Well, who will? I may need to have someone look underneath it.

And the new root canal specialist will not see me unless I have a referral, even though I explained to them many times that I did not need one!

So here I am stuck.

With pain.

And no help.

I may try a neurologist because I know I really have trigeminal neuralgia, but this biting down tooth pain is concerning me again. And it's another tooth AGAIN. It did not hurt before. I don't know where the pain is coming from NOW. Trigeminal or tooth?

Bruce is sick of hearing about it.

Andy is trying to help me calm down.

Can a dentist touch a bridge someone else put on? Instead of saying, "Go back to your old dentist."

I need help. G*d I'm in pain!!!!
