Sunday morning i was woken by the beast around 4am but this time the beast was not alone. I also woke with one cheek looking like i had golf ball stuck in it. I had woken with an abscess, one of my teeth had decided to give me an infection and what a painful wake up call it was too. The head was going, the cheek was hurting and the tooth was aching and feeling like it was going to explode from pressure. I basically punched myself in the cheek where there was so much pain and was lucky i suppose as the abscess burst through at the base of the tooth and released the pressure. The pain started to ease in the cheek and only the tooth was aching so i had to use some Anbesol antiseptic to ease the tooth. The injection took care of the head.
I was lucky for the rest of the day Sunday and didn’t really get any more attacks from the beast and my back was also behaving itself. I had decided to go to my mums for dinner so was getting out of the flat for a bit. It was on the way home when the back started to hurt again. I am not sure what is setting the back off. Is it a nerve that is trapped or the same problem as my head i just don’t know. I will have to wait until i see the back pain specialist before i get answers to that. I was again woken this morning but it wasn’t the beast this time it was the tooth and abscess again. The pressure has built up again and the tooth throbbing like crazy. Thank god i can go to the dentist late this morning as will have to get antibiotics for the infection.
It’s been years since i was last in a dentist and due to the hospital putting me through hell and ripping out all but three teeth as they thought the attacks i was getting was caused by the nerves in the teeth but as they found out later it had nothing to do with it. They also suspected it was actually in my jaw and cut some bone away from my jaw to test that theory but they was wrong again. I remember waking up and almost choking on my own blood where they had ripped all my teeth out and my mouth was still streaming blood from it as i woke from the sleeping aesthetic from the operation. The nurse shouting at me to bite down on this pile of wrapped up bandage so i could stop the bleeding and the pain shooting from my mouth was horrifying.
This is the reason i have not been able to go anywhere near a dentist to get the last three removed. I would rather put up with the pain than go through that again. I know the dentist isn't anything like the hospital its just i can’t stop thinking about it and then it puts me of going. Now the pain is slowly matching the same level as my head gets so it is getting bad and if i leave it something could happen so its time to go and seek help. I will just have to go to the dentist and try and put everything out of my mind. If i get the antibiotics to get rid of this infection i can then book in to get the teeth finally removed and get some new ones. Its about time i got it sorted so fingers crossed and wish me luck. i am not looking forward to the next couple of days.
