Now getting mild headache

I'm beside myself. This is from my jaw being shoved back and I think the night guard pulling it back into its previous position. I can't find a lawyer interested in even talking to me.

I'm wrrd I'm going to have bad head aches the rest of my life due to his carelessness. I paid 32k so far for this nightmare. They're taking no responsibility.

Again they said its my "sensitivity" to this fucker pushing my jaw back into my ear area. I think they're wrrd about a lawsuit but there won't be one.

2. Offering this perspective

The medical community is fairly insulated when they can point to standard care. Infrequent types of treatment too, it becomes a war of experts in court.

But I do offer this: I ran into tapping a while back in re: emotional pain. But it works for physical pain too, I have both. Don't just follow one video, also google for a deeper dive. Hope this brings November relief to you!

4. I think you need to get a second opinion from another health care professional.

Maybe even two: a dentist and possibly an ent specialist, but start with a dentist. You need to have someone knowledgeable who can xray your jaw and evaluate the position it's in. It's possible they won't find anything conclusive enough to be actionable (NOT because there isn't something wrong, but because many medical problems aren't easily diagnosable and can frustratingly elude detection), but they just might see something that they can address or that you can use to go back to lawyers and say, "Look, here's the evidence."

I can't promise you any of the above will happen, but I think this is a necessary step, to have another expert take a close look at what's going on. The way you describe things, it sounds like there is at least a possibility that your jaw is not in the right position, in a way that would show up on xrays. I think you need to find out for sure.

Those are my admittedly non-expert thoughts on the matter. I hope this helps.

Google review. You can also contact whatever Dental association that covers malpractice

I've been under treatment for a yr. I wrote a glowing review on their fb page, bc every thing was going great and i wanted to reward them.

That review actually just went up on their fb page. Freaked me out. I'm so sorry i did that

that the first post was before you started side effects from the procedure. I've seen a lot of people update reviews. I've done it myself
