Cheek Bone

Upper left wisdom tooth extraction site and my left sinuses.(Root canal that kept getting infected.Very painful removal as tooth was fused to the cheek bone)After a week or two the pain would ease but come back every month or so with horrible migraine headaches and sinus pain. I forgot about the complication I had had with my upper left extraction at the time and failed to mention it to my MD. When I went to my MD, he said it was probably allergies or a sinus infection so he gave me antibiotics and allergy meds to take. Neither helped. Throughout the next year he began trying me on different antibiotics and allergy meds. He also had me get an MRI done because at I was getting numbness and tingling on the left side of my head,my tongue,sometimes my arm,chest and my her left cheek bone, in particular, along with the severe pain that had gotten worse since first going to the MD. Multiple Sclerosis, was ruled outwith. I just ended up deciding to live with it. The pain would come and go. It would be excruciating pain for a few days, then the pain would disappear altogether for a few weeks before coming back again with a vengeance. Now, I'm in horrible pain almost everyday, nonstop .I get pain in my lower left sinus area, right below the cheek bone. . Now, when I get the pain I feel sick to my stomach,my body feels lifeless and I'm tired ALL the time. Could this be an underlying infection that has spread to the bone?

Re: Cheek Bone

Osteomyelitis? I can't say it's not possible, in fact it does occasionally happen in the upper or lower jaw bone as a complication of long-term dental infection. If you did have that in your face, it'd be a serious problem. An MRI is the best way to detect it, and you'd probably be treated with IV antibiotic therapy. Maybe you could have another doctor look over the MRI again, with this possibility in mind. Also, a white blood cell count can check whether you have an infection of some kind.

Alternatively, it could just be nerve damage from all the dental problems, in which case nerve medicines might be your best option.
