Just reading there about how you wonder if your dental implants could have anything to do with your situation. I am interested in that. I was a dental nurse and just take all dental issues as normal but I am going to ask my dentist and my neuro consultant about dental extraction.
I had a rather difficult extraction from my lower right jaw February 2015, I had constant pain after and in the end got my dentist, (who had been my employer a few years ago), to make me something to go into the space as my jaw constantly ached. He made me a one tooth denture, which gives me relief when I wear it, but aches in the jaw when I don't. I unfortunately had my Perimesencephalic bleed on September 9th, 2015, prior to the denture being completed, the bleed was on the right side at the back of the head.
On getting a dental check up this year I told my dentist that I still had jaw ache where the tooth was extracted and he said I could possibly have suffered nerve damage due to the awkward extraction. I can understand that, but have often thought nerve damaged was usually associated with numbness along the side of the face and it generally comes back to normal after a year. It made me think.
I have to have repeated MRI scans due to an area which has shown up as "signalling" in the cerebellum, located around the area where I still get consistent head/neck pain since my haemorrhage. I am now wondering could this possibly all be linked? My dentist did offer an implant but I said I have had enough pain since the tooth started it problems until now that I don't want to put myself through anything more at the moment.
It does make you think if anything can be connected. Have you found any good websites to look up information on these matters.
I am so sorry to hear about your epilepsy and having to struggle with all of that. It makes life so very hard for you as I am sure you will be off driving again with it all happening.
