Hi applejack,
I also get random rib pain, that comes and goes for a couple of months then will disappear for a couple of months. My doctor doesn’t seem concerned and I’ve done a ultrasound and nothing showed up.
I also got random headaches and facial pain since October last year. I can get up to 100 a day, after seeing a ENT specialist I’m now seeing a neurologist. But at times it does get into my teeth and gives me problems for a couple of days?
My dentist agrees with my doctor that my wisdom tooth extraction has gotten into my sinus. Because I kept blowing my nose. So now I’m not allowed to blow my nose, or any balloons for two weeks or more.
She already giving me a repeat antibiotics script.
She happy to help me work out what this problem is, my biggest fear is everyone will tell me it’s all in my head. Like the idiot that pulled them out “if you don’t think about the pain you won’t have pain” >:
On the third day my pain had much improved, but today it’s going backwards on my tooth, plus I’ve had 54 head pains, facial pains and counting, my nose is full of red sores, and my lips are so dry. Just got so much problems going on at the moment

Referred pain can irritate for a while, there is a lot of tugging when a tooth is removed.  It is bound to affect the jaw line as well as nearby teeth.

Wisdom teeth: this reminded me.  For years++ B4 a period was due, my wisdom teeth were painful.  Really really bothersome, 2 the point that DH had to sieve my food!  For about 12 years after they were extracted in Hospital: I looked like a hamster  , again food needed sieving and I would wake, crying with pain : the sockets would be painful pre-period.  So it must have been hormonal, I think that someone could have done a Research Degree on my hormones!

Dear God - as if tooth pain or hormonal discomfort aren't enough without the two of them at the same time

Lyncola that sounds awful - really hope your neurologist can sort this out for you it sounds debilitating

Remembering sinus pain, much worse when leaning forwards!

[Lyncola]

Your right CLKD, I always know I have sinus by bending over and the pain gets worse. Not really having this with the tooth pain. Just pain that radiates at the top of the gum and into my cheek.

Saw my doctor again and explain that the gum is saw when I touch it, blood still coming out, even though I not blowing it. She still thinks it’s a sinus air pocket, she said it will take weeks for it to close up. I’m having my MRI on Monday and will get them to forward the results to my doctor, to see if it picks up anything on my sinus.

[CLKD]

OUCH! 

I had a sinus infection 1 C.mas morning, bending 4wards getting out of bed was so PAINFUL.  😣

Let us know how you get on?

I do wonder if hormones can produce such symptoms or at least make issues worse,  maybe increasing sensitivity. As people who have followed my story know I have had on going teeth problems. I was in agony for 4 months and lesser pain for another 3. I had 2 root canals and xrays showed one needed doing again. Everything settled until they redid the 2nd root canal a couple of weeks ago and now I am in real pain again and having to have back to back pain killers. The dentist can't see anything wrong with the root canals but the pain ony restarted after the final treatment so I think it must be related. It is too specific for sinuses but I agree that tooth ache and sinus issues can seem similar. For me when I lie down or bend over the pain is far worse, which is the same as a sinus infection. I am on antibiotics but they don't seem to be having any effect. I am also on low dose amitryptilyne in case it is nerve related.
Any type of facial pain is dreadful and you all have my sympathies.

[CLKD]

Oh shrosphirelass 

[Lyncola]

I’m sorry to hear your still going through this crap shrosphirelass. I’ll thought of you when my pain from wisdom teeth removal still bothered me after two weeks. I knew your story and thought god is this going to happen to me. This teeth pain, sinus pain plus my headaches and facial pain is just terrible.

I’ll can believe you are going through this crap again. I’m on a low dose of Amitriptyline 10mg (having to start all over again) and I’m just starting my third box of antibiotics. I also had two weeks of Arthrexin (inflammation and pain relief) by my neurologist (my doctor said it’s good with bone pain). Worked a little bit at the start, so out of the 5 weeks I’ve only had two days with no medication. The weird thing about my pain is one day it’s on my left side next day the pain can be on the right? I’m just hoping my dentist and doctor can help me, they seem to be trying to help. As I don’t want to go back to the dick that pulled them out. I’m sorry but what crap, “if you don’t think about the pain you won’t have pain”

The funny thing is I’m comfortable at night in bed, so that’s a good thing. And eating doesn’t bother me?
Please keep in touch shrosphirelass, and I pray that both our pain improves and we can feel normal again

So sorry to hear things are still so bad for you Lyncola and worse in fact. Great you are able to get some sleep. Id be tempted to stay in bed!  Night times are bad for me, had an awful night last night but much better now. I'll take any improvement. I do hope you get some relief, its exhausting and really depressing. Don't give up hope, they'll get to the bottom of it, hopefully your MRI will help. Let us know.

I know CLKD, can't believe its still ongoing.

Just as a matter of interest there was an article in The Mail on Sunday entitled Why the menopause could make your teeth fall out.  Apparently, and I quote, ‘ studies she that up to half of the 13 million menopausal women in the UK suffer oral health symptoms such as painful gums, dry mouth, tooth loss and even phantom tastes and that these are as common as hot flushes and memory loss’
It’s quite a long article and definitely worth reading and which I’m sure you techy ladies will be able to access. I am suffering gum problems myself and having treatment with the hygienist. I suffered with menopausal symptoms for 12 years before I started HRT and I firmly believe it’s lack of oestrogen that caused my gum issues.

[CLKD]

Yep.  My Dentist and I discussed this topic 5 years ago.  My suggestion and his reply was 'it is known that menopause can cause gum problems'.  Which is why the gums need to have something to chew against, bit like brisk walking helps stave off osteoporosis.  I can see that around 1 of my implants that the gum is receding, he told me not to worry.  So I try not to 

[Lyncola]

I will find out my MRI results on Monday. It helps me a lot to write on here, and not feel so alone.
I would say my bad side is my left side, but if my left side isn’t hurting then my right side is? It can be different on any given day (left side one day right side the next day). Or like today, left side this morning then it changed to the right side. The pain can be at the gum (where the tooth was removed) and on top of roof of my mouth?

I will keep you lovely ladies informed

[CLKD]

tnx.  How is your neck?

[Lyncola]

No problem with my neck, why do you ask CLKD?
