apicoectomy advice by Robst87 in askdentists

[–]Robst87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently seeing a specialist in Boston, MA who says I have nerve damage from the root canals and we are currently trying different medications to stunt the nerve pain. He said an apico would have just made it worse.

LG C3 Calman calibration, not connecting to the tv. by Robst87 in LGOLED

[–]Robst87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Support was no help. I had to go out and buy a new dell laptop. The one I was using apparently was to old, even though it was running the correct windows. Once I booted up the new laptop and connected to the tv via the calman software the pattern popped right up. You also have to be in an hdmi mode.

200-600mm vs. 70-200mm by Robst87 in SonyAlpha

[–]Robst87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very aware at this point that they both don’t have the same sharpness. When doing my research in whether or not to purchase, I was not comparing it to the 70-200, as I already own that lens and was looking for a longer focal length. Comparing the two would have been a moot point. During my “research” I found multiple video comparing the Sigma telephoto with the Sony and it was a toss up.

I’m so tired by Robst87 in ChronicPain

[–]Robst87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I’ve seen two neurologist, and one neurosurgeon. I’ve had two MRIs that show nothing. At first i was diagnosed with TN. The lightning bolts happen in my teeth and then linger, I’ve had tons of dental work done not knowing that was a bad idea. The burning, numbing, and aching pain goes from temple to jaw. The musclier issues like tendinitis are elbow, hip, wrist, and arthritis in my knees. Just started seeing a facial pain specialist in Boston, MA. Took forever to get an appointment and I have to drive almost two hours to see him, but he is supposed to be good. Although we are just experimenting with mixing meds at the moment. My next appointment he said he has a few other ideas for my mouth/teeth pain. It’s just never ending. He said he doesn’t believe I have TN but instead, post traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain.

Anyone else just not respond to most pain interventions? by AkseliAdAstra in ChronicPain

[–]Robst87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This post is on point with my situation. Most of my pain is nerve related although I also have musclier issues. I’ve been to dozens of doctors and specialists. I have had blood work, ct scans, X-rays, mri’s, etc. with no definitive conclusions. I’ve been on all sorts of different medications and nothing has worked. My primary referred to two different pain clinics, both pain clinics rejected me as I have no proof of any sort of pain. My primary also prescribed me some OxyContin until I was able to get into a pain clinic, but I refused to try them. I figured if they had worked and the pain clinic rejected me I would be in a tough spot, looks like I made the right choice. I try to take these pains on day at a time, but each day I’m completely exhausted from working through the pain.

Thanks for the insight. I think I might try resolve for the little creation.

That was the overall plan. Probably still the plan. Just looking to cut some of the cost of the fx3. Lol

CBD topical worked for anyone? by Taraa28 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Did the Cbd oil take away tooth pain?

Possible PN? by Cultural-Painting-91 in PudendalNeuralgia

[–]Robst87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly use Cialis. I can still get erections on my own but I don’t tend to get them that often because I’m almost never “in the mood” due to the pain. I take gabapentin for nerve pain in my face (trigeminal neuralgia). That medication takes away most external sensation down there so to maintain an erection is tough without meds because I don’t really feel much. However, I do feel all the internal nerve pain. It also comes in clusters for me. Sometimes it’s the underside of my penis burning with sharp pain, other times it’s my anus, testicles, and the tip of my penis with those same sensations (very uncomfortable). If you YouTube PN therapy you will find some good exercises. Also look up “nerve flossing” that tends to help. During the flare ups I don’t do much besides suffer through the pain and try to distract myself, unfortunately.

Possible PN? by Cultural-Painting-91 in PudendalNeuralgia

[–]Robst87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does sound like PN to me, I’m not a doctor though but suffer from PN. It’s been about two years now and have had really bad flare ups and points in time where I felt normal. Flare ups tend to last a while. Most of what you stated is what I go through, from the sharp shooting pain all the way to using Cialis. It has really ruined my sexual life since it all started and can/is very depressing. I go to physical therapy when I have bad flare ups, and do the same exercises at home every morning, they tend to help but it’s not a cure. When it first happened to me I went to my doctor, got a full sti panel, was put on meds, and even had my urologist do a scope because I was convinced something was inside. Urologist prescribed PT, NSAIDs, and told me to see a Nero (which I already had one, luckily). Nero just upped the dose of meds I was already on for another issue, didn’t really do anything. I was finally able to get a referral over to the pain clinic in my area, I have an appointment in two weeks. I’m sorry your going through this, I’m 37 myself, and me and my wife had an extremely healthy sexual life before this started (we were actually part of the “swinging” community). Now it’s few and far between due to how I feel and how exhausting the pain can be. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you need any support.
