Hey all,
for what must have been 10 years I was stupid enough to think "when I get headaches I always feel it in my wisdom teeth first"
well stupid me finally went to oral surgeon and I had 2 partial impacted wisdom teeth and one fully impacted and infected one (lower)
i had gone to him because I had headaches all day everyday, I tried stopping caffeine, I tried taking alergy medicine..
Same deal, just these really horrible headaches, kinda like from my lymph nodes to my temple and between my eyes, side of my head,,,,
asprin makes them go ahead for well, 4 hours...
Same with ibuprofin
so I dont mean to be funny but if it were inoperable brain cancer from planet pluto would a aspirin help?
Anyway, had the wisdom teeth taken out, did the whole antibiotic thing the 8 days after were just awful, on vicodin and ibuprofin and mashed potatos, blah blah blah
its about 4 weeks later now and guess what headaches are the same, never changed
went to doc and we even tried not taking any pills for it to rule out a "pain pill headache" that actually is thing (amazing) but nope...Not it
so long story short (to late), anybody have any stories of really long recoveries or stuff like that pertaining to this?
Here is the semi good news, I swear when I do have the headache (which happen when I get my timing wrong on the ibuprofin) if I push on the spot where the infected worse impacted wisdom tooth was, it seems worse..
Meaning it feels local...But I dont know if this is just because my whole head hurts...Know what I mean?
As in, if I got it by a truck and I pressed on my knee and it hurt, it might not be the knee pursay
anyway, any help or insight would be great
