Severe teeth & mouth pain is driving me nuts!

Hello everyone. I used to post on here frequently years ago but stopped when my full time job took up my time. But I have been thinking of all members, both new to the forum & older to the forum. As much is possible, I hope each of you are having as pain free day as possible.

I am back on the chronic pain forum because extremely severe pain from my teeth, mandible, maxilla, & jaw. I would never in a million years hurt myself, but when my pain rears it head, I daydream about the pain just ending. I have SO many hopes & dreams that they keep me going on the high pain days.

I am in my 40s, & a disease process combined with high doses of Medrol along with high doses of inhalers (which have since been pulled from the market because they caused rapid tooth decay) caused the decline of my teeth. The bone infections are the worst pain I have ever felt. Advil & Tylenol do nothing. The pain in the tooth roots feel like very short knives stabbing me. I hardly ever sleep from pain & barely eat from severe pain. I have lost a ton of weight. When I do sleep, my Mom says I wake up screaming in pain. And taking a shower is a nightmare because the water hits my face. I now have to take baths & not wash my face.

I have been to a couple oral surgeons, but they do not take my insurance. I cannot afford to pay out of pocket. A regular dentist just quickly refers me to oral surgery.

As I look for an oral surgeon, I have had to turn to my primary care doctor. He gave me 10 lortab 5mg, & it was the first time I could eat & sleep. Now though he will give me no more, even though I showed him reports & pictures. So again I am not eating or sleeping.

I wrote him a letter today & attached pictures of my very infected & ugly mouth. I explained why the Lortab helped but stopped short of asking him for any. I feel like he is judging me. In person & in the letter, I said I was in real pain & not a drug seeker.

I seriously doubt I will hear back from him. As I type this now, I am crying in pain.

Do any of you have any suggestions on how to deal with him? Until I can get an oral surgeon, I am stuck with him.

Thanks for reading this saga. In advance, I appreciate your time & replies.
