TKR This time I am doing it right and having a blast

Josephine, Jamie I don't know what I would do without you . You are such Angels. The tooth gets addressed tomarrow. Thank You. Tashia
 
Tashia, both my knees make noise too, off and on and they don't hurt either, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you! However, once you get your dental thing done tomorrow, if you are still worried, just call your OS for peace of mind, if nothing else! Since you don't have pain, I think that's a big plus my friend! These new knees of ours concern us because we think of them as foreign, however now that they are in our bodies, they are no longer foreign, they are our babies, we take care of them and they take care of us! It's a sweet marriage, and a win, win situation! So please don't waste your precious time worrying about the "clinks and clunks" of your knees, your ligament and muscles will get stronger and you will hear those noises less!

Good luck tomorrow, and sweet dreams tonight my friend! :sleep:
 
Tonight I am really concerned. The dentist app. didn't go well. I have to go to a speicialist tomarrow. I spent over 4 hours in the chair and he was not able to complete it. Now knowing that I needed this work some time ago I am concerned about infection. I am still having pain in the knees which needs strong pain medicane. They have gotten better but now I am very concened. They are not real hot or swollen. Most of the time the medicane controles the pain. I would think if infected they would be getting worse. Heat, swelling and pain all would be involved. Before it got cold I was starting to work my self off the medicane but I have been unsuccessful. I know it can take up a year which has 4 months to go. I have been very tired but I thought it was my tooth which it really could be. But the left leg is sore. I am still taking morphine twice a day and percet three times a day. I need 1 and half each time. I will make appointment tomarrow for next week for the knees. Tomarrow I will be in a dentist chair again. I am so tired, and I could cry just thinking of this. The scares are fully healed. The last one that was done in June has turned white and not to swollen. On the right leg above the knee is still numb and is more stinging is happening which means the nerves could be repairing themselves. Right now I have a sore jaw and tooth from all the dwelling that took place today. My right knee is warm but not hot with little swelling. Have anyone had this and if so what did you find out?

Tashia, hon....please try not to worry about your knees. One step at a time here. Your tooth could very well be the cause of you feeling so bad. These things take a toll on your body. Try to get as much rest as you can. Once you get the dental problems under control, lets see how your knees feel. In the meantime, do whatever it takes to make yourself comfortable.

I do think it's a good idea to make an appointment with your OS just to ease your mind. You can always cancel it if you start feeling better.

The numbness and stinging are both normal. As you guessed the stinging is most likely nerves activating...that can go on for quite a long time. The numbness may or may not go away entirely. You must give it time as well.

What is it with your tooth that's causing so much difficulty? I really feel for you.....
 
Tashia,
Sending prayers your way that everything turns out OK. :angel:
Please take good care, and one thing at a time. :puppysmooze:
 
The dentist tried to do a root canal but the roots have caliize. :hissy: I know I spelled that wrong. but he had to hand drill the root to clean it out so he could do the root canal. :sos: OW :tantrum: It really uncorable. :sigh: I do have pain pills but I hurt all over for sittting as long as I did. :umm: Tomarrow is another day in the dentist chair but a speclist this time. :shrug: Jamie
 
I see....that's too bad, Tashia. I hope the specialist is better equipped to deal with this issue. Don't hesitate to take those pain meds so that you can relax and rest. You deserve them after all you've been through!!!
 
bottomshollow I had the second attemp for a root canal yesterday and it failed. :shocked: :tantrum: :headbang: Seeing a speclist today. :beg: I need some of your humor for the third attempt for the root canal to be suceessful. :boohoo: :cry: :eeeuw: Thank you. Tashia :sigh:
 
Aw Tashia, I hope it goes well and quickly for you today! :console2: Please keep pleasant thoughts in your head, while he's working on you today! You'll be in my thoughts and in my prayers my friend!
 
Tashia,
I have had tons of dental work, sometimes I felt I lived in the dental chair. I understand your frustration. My root canals are calcified too, most peoples are calcified as you get older. The endodontist should be able to see what is going on and be able to do what is best for you. We need to learn the lessons here and ask the similar questions of all our medical providers before any procedure. :console2:

. I sure hope third time is the charm!

(It's hard to be humorous about a root canal---hope this tickles your funny bone.)
 
Oh Tashia, please don't worry about your knees. You have enough to worry about right now and why worry about something that will probably never happen?
 
Thanks bottomshollow it was funny. The speclist was concerned about how much damage the tooth had so it got pulled today. So I am very sore tonight. Taking pain pills every 4 hours for now. :shocked: I hopped I can get a good night sleep. The pain started working. I look like I have been punched in the jaw. Very tired to say the least but finished with the Dentist Chair. :happydance:for now. I will have a quiet weekend. I'm not taking the sewing class which I am very disappointed but I need to take a easy. Pumpkln
 
Oh Tashia, I've just caught up on your thread about your tooth. I know just how you feel as I went through the same thing about 3 years ago. I had to go to a major city to see an Endodontist with special equipment as the tooth that needed the root canal work was part of a bridge. It took a while for it to settle down after the work had been done over the two visits that I had to have. Tooth ache is not fun at all and wears one down, so I'm not surprised you're so tired. Take care of yourself my friend.
 
Tashia,
Sorry you lost your tooth, but you will feel much better as soon as it can settle down. Those unhappy teeth can make your whole body sick and exhausted. Follow the mantra, rest, elevate, ice, and medicate until it settles down. And the elevation part is easy, just stay out of those upside down gravity machines, and no head stands :heehee:.
I have been down that path the last 2 root canals myself, both ended up being pulled, takes a week or two for it to heal, then longer to toughen up. I am still considering an implant for the tooth I lost before my TKR, but am in no rush to spend time in a dental chair. Take it easy, eat soft food, and take care of the socket.:friends:
