ROCKSTEADY Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 for the last year or so the left side of my jaw has been making this grinding sound, occasionaly. It started around the same time my friend punched me in the jaw during a night of drunken debauchery (i'll refrain from telling why he punched me). about 5 days ago it made a real loud snapping noise, and now i it hurts to open my mouth at all, i havent really eaten anything good and solid since then. on top of the intense pain, my jaw has made an overall shift to the right, as if it pivoted on the connecty area on the right side. i take about 4 ibuprofen a day just so i can talk. anyone have any ideas of whats wrong?

Arcane Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'd recommend seeing a dentist or something... Quote Link to comment
Oerlikon Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Sounds like your TMJ got messed-up. Definitely see a doctor.... Quote Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 now my gums are bleeding around certain teeth. This blows Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 See a doctor, man. Seriously. Check in to the ER if you need to. In fact, I'd just do that. ER. Now. Seriously. Quote Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 i actually cracked it to the left really hard last night, it doesnt hurt as bad, but my gums still bleed every morning. atleast i dont have to take ibuprofen. Quote Link to comment
Wind Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 uhhh you wanna goto the doctor already and stop being a moron potentially damaging your jaw even more? jesus Quote Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 im actually trying to avoid the doctor. i know that when i go in they're going to want me to stay and take blood and shit. I have a deep rooted phobia of anything medical. i'll probably be forced to go however. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yeah, think about it. What's worse, 45 minutes of fear, or a lifetime of having a fucked up jaw/gums? You'll thank yourself later. Quote Link to comment
Dramatic Conclusion Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 im actually trying to avoid the doctor. i know that when i go in they're going to want me to stay and take blood and shit. I have a deep rooted phobia of anything medical. i'll probably be forced to go however. What the hell. I've worked in hospitals. There is nothing to be afraid of. Unless your arm is hanging on by a few threads. Go! Go now! Quote Link to comment
Pamuya Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 dude freakin go to the doctor. i'll buttrape you srsly. Quote Link to comment
Belial Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 You might want to look up the word debauchery before you use it again, but do that after you get back from the hospital... or maybe on the way. Quote Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 im actually trying to avoid the doctor. That's incredibly stupid in this case. Go to the doctor, dammit. Quote Link to comment
mst3kjunkie Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 to repeat the group majority: GO TO THE DOCTOR/DENTIST. NOW!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Venom112 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yeah, think about it. What's worse, 45 minutes of fear, or a lifetime of having a fucked up jaw/gums? You'll thank yourself later. Well, depending upon whether or not Rocksteady has medical insurance, it could be 45 minutes of fear and poverty or fucked up jaw/gums. That's kind of weird actually, everyone assuming Rocksteady has medical insurance, which he probably does, but consider if he didn't! Going to the doctor, while being a good choice, would likely be most improbable. Quote Link to comment
Ikari Warrior Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 He didn't say he was too poor. He said he was too scared. Get to the doctor, coward! Tell me how a perpetually bleeding mouth is not scarier than someone fixing it. Quote Link to comment
Venom112 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 He didn't say he was too poor. He said he was too scared. Omission does not equal non-existence! :ohmy: Quote Link to comment
Ikari Warrior Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Omission does not equal non-existence! I agree, however, if insurance/money was a factor, I would think that would have been mentioned at some point. I very well could be wrong...only the thread starter can verify/deny the status of such issues. Quote Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 ended up that i never had to go to the doctor. There was a process of about 4 days where it slowly drifted back in place. It was around the time my gums were bleeding really bad. I still have no clue what it was though. Yes i have insurance. They usually have to drug me when i go into a hospital, i usually start vomiting of pass out. If you've ever had a serious panic attack, you would try to avoid another one at all costs.

Well then have them drug you. It won't stop happening and it could lead to very serious problems, ones that could cause all sorts of infections, disfiguration, ect. But if your fear of hospitals is that great, you need to see a therapist to work through that. That's bad. Going around afraid of hospitals is likely to get you dead. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 ^ What they said I said both of those things... D: And I am sorry to hear about that, Rocksteady... Quote Link to comment
The Lone Magician Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 If hospitals scare you, find a friend and make him force you to go. It's good to at least have someone to bitch to the entire time. Quote Link to comment
