I can't eat lots of food due to gum pain. Been to specialists. No cure yet. I just avoid food that hurts me.
Did u have blood clot forming in the socket at the time of the extraction? And was it done with or without stiches?
Your descriptions suggest trigeminal dysfunctional pain of edentulou ridge. Periodic administration of local anesthesia without epinephrine and /or systemic administration of gabapenti/amitriptline may solve your complaints. Seeing an Orofacial pain specialist is advised.
Thank you. I did not have stitches. i don't know about a blood clot in the sockets. Im allergic to amitriptyline. Do I need a referral to an orafacial pain specialist?
Please visit American academy of Orofacial pain web site, there will be a list of Orofacial pain specialists.
