Any Ideas To Help With Excruciating Wisdom Tooth Pain?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Latrobe, PA

My wisdom tooth came through halfway, but there is no room and it's of course stuck like so many other people get. The pain and swelling is so bad I can't open my mouth and I feel sick to my stomach. I can't handle a lot of things with strong scent, but it has agitated the tooth on the bottom now too and I feel like I could lose my mind the pain is so bad and the emergency dentists are all still closed. Any ideas?

I Am Wondering If Anyone Else Out There Has An Issue With Pain From Scoliosis And Arthritis In The Back?,

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Delray Beach, FL

I have a lot of pain in my back with scoliosis and arthritis, I also have osteopenia. I am told there is not much to do for me other than pain medication which are not really helping me much at all. I just completed several weeks of physical therapy and they ve given me several exercises to continue with at home and I am not sure how all of this is going to help. I am just very frustrated and not knowing what to do from here.

Any answers someone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Have Any Of You Dealt With TMJ Pain? What Have You Done That Helps.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Spring, TX

I have been in severe pain on the side of my head, my temples, my neck both sides & back everyday for the last 4 months. I have met with a Dr that will build a device to loosen the amount of space in my jaw joints & hopefully relieve the muscular pain that is trying to support everything. I can't get the device for a few weeks, so I wondered if anyone else has dealt with this & could maybe give me some home care remedies in the meantime??

Thanks,
Jen

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Woolwine, VA

Hi, I been in pain management for close to 20 years the last 10 in the same practice same (GREAT) doctor. Same type and dosage for that whole time but I'm at the point that I need to up OR increase potency.
