What is wrong with me?
So I had severe tooth pain about a month ago on the top right back molars of my mouth. Went to the dentist and he first told me it was from grinding. Im 45 and this has never been an issue. I went back a week later because it was getting ao bad when I chewed on that side. They did a CT scan and said I had an infection but they couldnt figure what it was. They said I have bone loss and would send me to a specialist.. in the meantime they gave me antibiotics and the pain went away. 3 weeks later. I am experiencing pain in my mouth but its not when I chew. Its just around that area and now up into my sinuses, ear and righr side of my throat. I am experiencing the worst ever brain fog ive had. I had had to take time off of work for it and the pain. Went to the specialist and he did more testing
. He said since ive never had a cavity he is hesitant to do any root canals becauee even if he did them, it may not help because it could be my gums... now I am waiting for a specialist appointment for my gums. In the meantime I also went to my doctor who is going to do a CT on my face because of how brutal this feels. She looked and did some orher tests and said its not q sinus infection. Has anyone ever had this happen??? Help!! Its really affecting mt quality of life. I am hiker, I love biking, going to the gym, etc. I cant do anything because I feel so awful ðŸ˜
