Dry Socket

I had a tooth extracted in pieces since it split down the center and small pieces were coming out as I ate. There was the one side that didn't loose any pieces of the tooth so it was higher on the outside then the inside. Pain has been persistent and it has now been a week.





Update on 12/27/2018= below

Dentist is out of town but nurse told me, after she spoke with him, that it sounds like dry socket. Holy moly it is worse then the days following the procedure. Today makes day 8 but the pain got so much worse last night on day 7. I tried ice and a heating pad, aspirin, orajel, another type of oral toothache remedy, I even rubbed my gums and the socket with whiskey. Alas, nothing worked as it woke me up at 1 a.m. this morning not allowing me to go back to sleep until 4 a.m. Dentist said get some Motrin, Alleve is the same and you use less pills so I got there.

No matter what I eat, cold or hot or soft food it begins hurting all over again. I must drink my water warm not cold nor hot. Same with taking my medications. And the pain radiates all the way up the side of my face into my eye socket too.

So I have almost given up. I came up with an idea for a poultice so I made it and have it in my mouth now. I am using Kratom mixed with whiskey into a paste and put it into the socket and gauze on top of that. Right now it is working but it's only been about an hour. Hope and pray it does let me sleep better tonight.

Whether it works or not I will update this tomorrow.


Update: The poultice helped relieve the pain for about an hour. When I tried putting on another poultice it hurt too bad to keep it on. Bummer.

Today I am going to try some Hydrogen Peroxide to rinse my mouth in case there could be some infection. I will do this after eating and brushing my teeth each time. Let's see if this trial is a good one.

Update 12/23/2018:
The hydrogen peroxide has helped after eating but it only lasts for a few hours. Which is better then being in pain all day. However, when I eat, even soft or liquids, I have the intense pain and have to treat it with all the above items I listed on day one. This is not going to be a great Christmas dinner. Actually today we are having a Holiday Dinner since my Uncle doesn't celebrate on actual Christmas.

Finally, today the 24th of December 2018 my pain has been less frequent and less pain. Glad I got a break from it today.

Update on 12/27/2018: Got some Motrin and have been using it with the oragel and being careful to eat on opposite side. Even though I eat on opposite side I still feel pain when I eat and for awhile afterwards. The pain right now is lessening.

How Big Pharma and the Government are trying to forbid use the natural resources of Kratom and Marijuana

I use Kratom and am having the same problems. Some states okay it. It's from a leaf from the tobacco plant. Actually you would think the Government would approve it as it does help people get off opiates. And Opiates is what the government is trying to ban since so many patients are on it. Medical Marijuana could be another option for me. Hello, my name is Pamel and I live in Chronic Pain daily and am allergic to Morphine and Tylenol. along with many more pain meds. People like me who live with Chronic Pain and PTSD (3 abusive husbands) need something for the pain without getting hooked on it. Why not use the plants that God put here for our use instead of all those Opiates the Government wants off the market? The plants are natural and don't put all those horrible chemicals in them. Please go to the links below and read a Vet's story of needing Medical Marijuana.

It's more than likely the fact that the Big Pharma and Government can't make money out of others. However, some states like Colorado has found a way. And they are benefiting greatly, There are problems like the promise to give money for education and teachers are so small.  However, the State is making money and people aren't suffering much there. Read these link on both Marijuana and Kratom.

It's not actually giving anything to the Education or Teachers. It needs to give more then 2%.

How the FDA is trying to get Kratom not available. Years ago they said the same about Marijuana and now finally some states sell Medical Marijuana.

How Doctors just hand out opiates like candy...and now the Government wants to stop it..LOL

I have been having a lot of pain in my hip and spine, Horrific to explain it in layman's terms, quit taking that new medication the pain doctor gave me. I wonder why they don't read allergies of their patients or inform patients what is included in the medication they are prescribing. Asking for a referral to a different pain doctor at the hospital that will give me trigger point injections and steroid injections in my hip and low back. That's all I wanted to from the pain doctor not pills. I'm wondering why we have such a large epidemic here in Oklahoma on Opiates when Dr's. like the one I recently saw just has you pee and gives you a Rx. It's this that doesn't help those who really need it.

These type of Doctors are normally called pain mill doctors and won't be around for too long. These doctors make the real pain doctors hesitate in giving pain meds when a person really needs them. This doctor I saw on 2/22 and he ordered to have a series of images done on my C/5 to my tail bone done at the hospital in that town. Well, good ole me called 5-6 times the Radiology department during the month and also left messages upon the person's v.m. that sends these out. I never got a call. So when I returned on 3/22 I did a piss test, I had itched all month but blamed it on some new stuff I added to my laundry soap as I am so sensitive to soaps etc., went to a room. A woman was there we sat across from each other, I would actually say it could be a interrogation room you see on t.v., I started to say something she said hush I'm waiting on your piss results. Someone brought a page in, she told me to get an appt. and go back to chairs and she would be out soon. She came out and handed me the prescription if Deluded. I refilled then, by then all my clothes I had washed in the other stuff had been rewashed in my sensitive All again. So, I took the pill that night and for a few more nights. I was itching and popping Benydryl like candy. Finally, called my Pharmacist and found out the medication was actually a synthetic of Morphine. The intense itching and over use of Benydryl was not worth it. Not to mention Morphine is my worst #1 Allergy I have with Tylenol falling in second. It only proves he never checked my Allergies and he never disclosed what was in the medication he was giving me.

The lady in Radiology at the hospital told me the name of a pain Dr. there that will give me the pain shots I need and no narcotics. I called that pain doctor's office asking for a referral and I also called my PCP, doubting I would get one from the other doctor, to get a referral. I hope soon to have something to help me. My right hip is killing me but I know it will take to the second appt. to get a shot.

The Doctors have caused an epidemic of people addicted to Opiates and it's not easy to get them off the drugs. There is one thing, that the FDA and Big Pharma wants to squash and make illegal that does help people get off opiates and it's nothing but a leaf from the coffee family. Kratom. Yeah, you read the B.S. about it causing 3 deaths a while back. But the Coroner himself came out and said that those 3 individuals died of HEROIN overdoses but just happened to have Kratom in there system so the FDA and Big Pharm could start their crusade of banning it so they would not loose their, cut of the pie, money with some other off the wall pill to get people off of opiates but probably addicts them to something else. You can't take Kratom and Opiates together they will exclude one another and then you will still be in pain because they didn't work. I choose Kratom. All these years people have been choosing the plant called marijuana and now we find that without the THC in it's CBD state it can help with many diagnosis's including pain and seizures. There are dispensaries opening up in several places or already are in business for years.
