I am in Victoria, Australia
Four weeks ago, I started getting a really bad toothache that was so bad that Nurofen Plus (200mg ibuprofen and 12.8mg codeine phosphate) could only just take the edge off the pain, and I hardly slept for days.
So after about 2 weeks I visited a doctor, and she got me some antibiotics and some Panadeine Forte, and even this does not kill the pain completely, but it has stopped the pain enough that now instead of my whole side of my face feeling like its on fire, it has narrowed it down to the very back of my gum.
the back two teeth feel like they are a little loose/soft when I bite down, and it causes more pain, so it makes eating hard, but just behind them the gum has swollen and become en-flamed, and it feels like it is tearing apart.
i have also broken a molar in half and i think one of the nerves is showing and anything that touches it causes more pain
i have had through 2 renewals of the antibiotics and i am on the 3rd one now
I've been on Panadeine forte for a few weeks and still have pain.
And now the gum on the inside of the teeth, starting at the canine and going all the way back is really swollen and sore, and for some reason I cant open my mouth very far, like 0.5cm-1cm, wide at my front teeth (cant even fit my Pinky through the gap), and if I try any further I get a really sharp excruciating pain that feels like its in the join of my upper and lower jaw.
I can’t even get a toothbrush in there to brush behind my teeth or to brush my tongue and its getting really gross.
It is also hard to swallow anything I eat, I have to take a small bite, chew very slowly on my good side and swallow, but I can feel it slowly going down my throat, and it hurts like hell, and more often than not I have to wash it down with water before I choke, then after eating I have to take more painkillers because my mouth starts hurting more than before.
here are my problems with going to the dentist:
I am unemployed, on centerlink, and live in a small country town, the nearest dentist is about 100km away, and right as all this happened, the town i live in was completely flooded (80%) my house included, also the doctors and pharmacy were flooded, so i now have to travel by bus when ever i need to get a new script for the painkillers and antibiotics (i did have a car but it was washed away) and i have a phobia of going to the dentist because i am really scared of needles, pain, and of anything i am not holding coming anywhere near my face
Please help me, I’m about to rip off my own jaw out of frustration and to stop the pain....
