i was wondering if anyone could tell me if you can get osteomyelitis in your skull and what are the symptoms and causes?thx
Yes. Osteomyelitis can be anywhere in the body where bone exists. It is usually something that enters the bloodstream or at a trauma site, wound. It is an infection in the bone. Bones most commonly effected are the jawbone, legbones and hip area. This is because of the vascular properties of these areas. The symptoms are usually raised white blood count, high SED rate, LOT of deep pain, sometimes redness, swelling and fever. Weight loss is also a symptom, especially when in the jawbone. Which is where I have had it. May I ask why you are asking - so I may be of more assistance?
Hope this helps - oh also do a search on OSTEOMYELITIS SKULL and tuberculosis comes up as done cancer. It can also travel to other bone in the body if it is in the bloodstream. Mine is localized in the upper maxilla and had begun to wall itself off leaving no red blood cells and/or blood vessels in this section which eventually would lead to more troubles. I am still undergoing therapies for this hellacious disease!

I am sorry to hear of this. 7 years! Dear lord - let's get you better Prendi! If you are feeling this pain, can you get to a University Hospital that has a dental unit? Ask for a SED rate, a White Blood count, a Panarex image, and a 3 phase bone scan. These, along with your symptom list will give a diagnosis. It's most likely not in your skull, but in your jawbone which has some hellacious referral pain.
Do you have constant pain? Do you feel it above where the teeth were extracted? Please give me any and all info you can and where you are located so I may be of assistance.
I have Osteomyelitis of the jaw. I almost died back in January after a dentist performed several procedures and then insisted the pain was all in my head, that I needed time to heal. After I felt as if someone stabbed me in my jaw and looked as if I had a stroke, I ended up in the hospital my face 6 times the normal size and I passed out. I actually didn't remember a thing for several days when I came to, 5 doctors were treating me, my family was called in (because they didn't think I would make it). It is now the end of March I have been in an out of the hospital 4 times and I am going to see an orla surgeon tomorrow. I have had 6 oral surgeons refuse to treat me because the infection was so bad and they didn't know enough about the infection. It is scary, my face swells all the time, I have no feeling in my chin and pains come and go through out the day. I can not eat at all. The dentist that said I needed to allow time to heal happened to call me while in the hospital to discuss my bill (he called my cell phone, or should I say his secretary) anyway I paid $13k to him for nothing and now owe over 170k in hospital bills and doctor bills, x-rays, iv's, ICU. I had to get an attorney because the dentist refused to even refund me the money and he didn't do half of what he was paid to do. Anyway my health is really what the issue is all about, and only because of God am I alive today. I have a long road to travel but I am certain I will get there.
