Face Pain

Well I finally got to see the Super ENT doctor on Feb. 7th...this was such a relief to me because I KNOW that my sinuses are really bad and I need to see him to get things started. I purposely chose not to take drugs before I saw him and as usual I had a headache. He really is a super doctor, very informative, very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Apparently I have 2 problems happening, not only do I have a sinus infection but I had a very aggressive surgery, 16 years ago, and it has cause a lot of scar tissue damage. I am pretty sure that this is what is causing me the pain and will most likely need laser surgery but for now he is giving me a antibiotic nasal rinse to do for 2 weeks and see if that helps. WELL...we are at 2 weeks today and I am sad to say that I haven't noticed a big difference in the pain at all. I still need to take drugs for facial pain, I never had congestion so that really hasn't changed and if it clearly the infection...I have no idea. I guess we will go back and see him in 2 weeks then go from there. Then, of course I just need to have drama, I decided to get my 1st of 2 mercury crowns switched over (I have already had 6 cavities done). I had it done Jan 16th and then had 2 weeks of discomfort but thought that this was because of the temporary being in my mouth, apparently I was wrong. Now that I have the permanent in my mouth, I am still having lots of problems. They say my tooth is fine but that it is the nerves and muscles around my jawline and into my actual Jaw that is causing problems. REALLY...well after 3 weeks now (plus the 2 before hand) I am still in lots of pain and feel that I am living on drugs during the day then at night I add alcohol as I am so stressed with the pain, I can't take it anymore. Seriously, how much more pain can I take...my poor face is just screaming at me on a daily basis. Not sure what to do so we just continue to do the same, drugs, alcohol, ice packs, heat and LOTS of prayer!
