Ugh, this oral surgery I had (which we all were hoping would in the long run help my migraines)....ended up causing continual headaches since I had the surgery on March 27. Have been taking Ibprofen for the mouth pain/reduce swelling but for many weeks I wasn't in any condition to drive to the city to my pain specialist for treatment & then my truck started to overheat. Didn't get the radiator flushed out until last monday. I have an appointment this Thursday with the pain specialist after a morning appointment at the dental school (have to get a new treatment plan because normal dentures aren't going to work because of my gag reflex & also my mouth is so small there's no room for the dentures in the first place which is why it makes the gag reflex even worse....but I figured if I've suffered this long with the headache, what's another week....now just 3 more days.
Know that part of the problem is the jaw alignment after there are no teeth left in my mouth.....have been having lots of pain from that & it just goes right to the migraine area. I haven't even been able to distract the pain away like I had been able to do before.
Pain specialist physician's assistant said that I could come in any time after the surgery if it triggered.....but there was NO WAY to get there so it was a nice offer just nothing I could take advantage of......I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately.....headache gets stronger....I take a hot shower & head to bed no matter what time of day it is.
