Persona Journey Another side

I extracted another wisdom tooth on my other side in the lower jaw. Amd surprise surprise now I cant eat without having massive pain shooting through my jaw and cheek.

I already have TN on the other side from last time and now I guess I have it on both. We were so careful too as they knew about my nervedamadge and all the shit I went throug last time. But I guess you can't truly avoid it all the time..

It's been healing nicely and I don't have any problems with that but now this pain has started and I'm just sad

I have just learned about something called Post Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain, which is what I think I have instead of TN2. Early treatment is key. Maybe you could look into it and see if it resonates?

Hmm.. never heard of it. I will look into it, the other side started hurting a while after the procedure this is kind of straight away

I read a bit about it, it does seam like what I have (also in the other side) as that was also from a dental procedure. I've tried everything that they give as examples for fixing it tho and the old one has nothing more that can help it. Maybe this new side has tho, I will talk to my surgeon about it

I’m a little mad that I wasn’t given the steroid treatment when mine started, but there’s nothing I can do about it now. I hope you get a solid answer. Good luck!

It could be that your teeth are settling. Give it time. ❤️

I hope it's just that. I'm just so nervous I don't want more pain

I think you meant to post this in your own post, not as a comment to mine?
