good morning,
i am an aggressive tooth brusher, in may 08 i noticed that my gum had separated from the tooth and started a painful journey i am still not healed from. The pain was somewhat like the feeling of a canker sore (tingle and burning); however, once i went to the periodontist to get the gum graft done, it spread to all over my face to include mouth/teeth and tongue and scalp. I went to a neurologist who ordered a cat scan/mri and blood work and found nothing, no pinched nerve anywhere to be found. I was on gabapentin with no luck and just recently changed to neurontin. my neurologist states that the nerve was irritated and needs time to heal.... over a year now and it has not healed. i do have a tendancy to hold frustrations inside; should i begin some type of anti anxiety medication along with the neurontin??? i feel i am going crazy with no where else to turn. thanks for listening and taking the time to read this post.
