I had a tooth extracted about 2 weeks ago and I am still having extreme pain. I have been on 3 kinds of antibiotics. I have pain and weakness in my arm and shoulder. I went back to the dentist and she said everything looks fine. I went to the ER because the pain was so bad and they didnt know what to do to help me. I have been taking Tylenol 3 which is not helping the pain and have also been rinsing with salt water and putting tea bags on the sore spot. I can not put up with this extreme pain for much longer. Any suggestions?
Hello, As you are mentioning that you got your tooth extracted 2 weeks ago and still you are experiencing pain then there are two chances -First it can be possible that your socket of extracted tooth is still unhealed which is called as Chat Doctor. - Second it can be possible that while extraction the dentist has exerted your jaw joint called as temporomandibular joint, and now it is causing difficulty.in first case there are some packs given in the socket which will relieve the pain and in the second case you have to take some muscle relaxants to relieve the pain.In my opinion you should visit an oral medicine specialist at your place as he will diagnose the case properly and treat it properly. Hope it will help you.
