I have suffered from chronic pain for for 13 years following a severe head on auto accident, i suffered 2 broken ankles, 2 broken lower legs, double knee replacements, 2 broken femours, slipped discs, 2 broken wrists and 2 broken forarms.....the major pain isuffer is nerve pain that shoots from my spine to my foot, the other pain from joints ect is minor compared to this. I have been on OPANA ER 60mg 3x a day and 4mg dilaulid 6 times a day.

13 years ago there was no nofault insurance money left to repair all my broken teeth from the steering wheel demolishing my mouth, so the other day i went in and had all of my bad teeth extracted, and am financing a complete mouth full of implants costing $39k, the night before i was prescribed 3 5mg vallium, and 1 5mg the morning of surgury, then to sedate me they crushed up some powder and put it under my tounge, ......15 min later i was out and the next thing i remember was waking up at home later that day, i dont remember anything about the surgury.........but the best part is......MY NERVE PAIN IS NOW ALMOST NON EXISTENT ANYMORE, i still have some joint pain ect but thats all, i have only had to take 1-2 4mg dilalid per day for the last 10 days......Did i just come into a medical breakthrough, has anybody ever herd of this before happening, i mean i have had nerve blocks and tried every med and procedure possible including nerve stimulator and nothing has touched it......till now and it had nothing to no with fixing the pain in my leg, but was it a fluke.........i did read somewhere bad teeth can cause fibromialga type pain but thats its.....please info is appreciated

also how long does vallium stay in ur system, maybe thats still working or something???

Hey Eadacorp84,

First of all, Welcome to the Chronic Pain Forum!

As far as your question goes, I'm pretty positive that the Valium has long since worn off.  I'm by no means an expert, but if I had to wager a guess, I'd say that you had either a pinched nerve either in a tooth or in your jaw that was freed up during your procedure.  It is well known in the medical community that nerve pain can radiate from one location to another.

I have both nerve pain issues in my back, as well as serious dental issues, so I know how a problem in one area can manifest itself some distance from its source.  I also suffer from migraine headaches.  Recently, I underwent a series of 31 BOTOX injections all over my head and neck, in order to deaden all the nerves.  This will hopefully help alleviate my migraines, even though my migraine pain is always concentrated solely behind my right eye. 

I don't know if this explanation helps any, but I'm pretty sure that's the situation regarding your teeth.

Let us know how things work out.
