Can ya spare some vibes/prayers for me?
Something's wrong in my jaw - possible failure of the surgery on at least one side. The pain is extreme - sharp, hard. Nothing's helping kill the pain. and.... they can't get me into the office until July 5th.
Can't eat. Can't sleep. Hurts like heck to smoke, yawn, swallow. Can't do shakes/smoothies - can't suck. [Sorry, Jonny... we'll have to reschedule our rendezvous  ]
Thanks,
Lizzie

Liz, that is just wrong. I'd be bitching like crazy right about now and ringing their phone off the hook.

They won't even call in a pain killer or anything to help till you can get in?
I'd do what Linda stated, and call them and pester them like crazy. Demand they see you yesterday to follow up on their surgery, (or you will seek another opinion to build your Malpractice case against them) that last bit is only half joking.
Hope you get in sooooooon. Vibes on the way.

Oh...ow, ow, ow! I'm so sorry, sweetie.
I might call and bitch until they see me. Have you tried Toradol for the pain? It was the only med that helped my jaw pain.
Sending lots of vibes and prayers.
hugs, nani

Lizzie - Whatever you need, I'm all over it. I'm only 15 minutes away. Until I hear from you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm serious - let me know if you need anything at all (including planning the airport pickup operation - planning is what I do for a living). You've got my e-mail address.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

If you're not to far from the doc's office, drive to it and demand to be seen. tell them you're not leaving until they do and that while you wait you'll tell all the other patients coming in what shitty care your getting.

My wife was in a similar situation and the doctors ignored her until I went with her and told them they needed to do something for her pain and described what I saw her going through. Like her explaining it wasn’t good enough, they treated her like she was a druggy looking for pills instead of someone in pain needing help.
So if you have someone to go with you do it and sit there until they see you and take care of your pain.
Ask them, isn’t it your job to relieve suffering? That will get there attention and you can report them for not giving you the care you need.
I am really sorry you are hurting and hope you feel better really soon, just don’t take no for an answer, ok?

Rats.
Take a lotl of aspirin or whatever you use. It can't hurt. Keep after the doctors, go in person, and keep in touch with us.
Wish had something more substantial.

Gosh. Wow. Thanks.
If I don't hear back from one of the residents tomorrow, I'll call again Thursday. There has to be some 15 minute time window they can fit me in....
I'm taking percocet and a muscle relaxer. They're not working- just barely taking the edge off the pain. It's frustrating.

That is total bullshit........they do the surgery and need to follow up PRONTO if sumthin is wrong and check it out and not let it get worse. What if there is an infection or sumthin.......that isn't sumthin they WANT to let go. I got an infection in some dental work years ago and it made me SICK.....the dentist was VERY concern'd when I called sayin it had been hurting all weekend and I begun to feel tired and lousey and he fit me in ASAP !! If the 'perc's aren't working it has to be bad........you may want to try increaseing the dose which may take that edge off then go back to the normal dose. I AM NOT a doctor to give meds advice but that is what I do when it gets bad enuff for breakthru pain and my doc said that is COOL. So mite want to get there advice first........I'd worry about infection or nerve damage if it hurts that bad now tho. Hopefully it is all TEMPORARY tho. Pain for thought Pam
Hope ya feel better soon !!!!!!

Go to the office - park your backside in the waiting room - make it abundantly clear that you are not going anywhere until they've looked at you and taken care of the problem.
We could get a committee together - head it up with Jonny - and take you there. Bet they would find time to see you then!
Hang in there!

Call them and tell them if they don't get you in - the next voice on the phone will be your attorney. That usually gets attention.

Thanks for all the vibes & prayers. They called at 8:30am and asked me to be there at 10:00am.
I got more percocet and muscle relaxers. They took another 360 xray (apparently I have an exceedingly ugly left joint LOL) They're sending in a preapproval form for more surgery. and I have been asked to call if things get worse.
Thanks for the prayers and vibes to help me get an appointment!
hugs,
Lizzie
