I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Thanks. I had my jaw x-rayed yesterday, they did it from all angles and with
open and closed mouth. I'll have to wait for results, but i assume it would
show anything going on. I think i should call my dentist back and keep him
informed. I have a large, old stainless steel crown on a molar on the bottom
at that side that seems more sensitive to hot/cold than before, i keep
"wanting" to think that's the source of the pain. But the dentist said
nothing was on the x-ray that was suspicious. I'm grasping at straws, i
guess. The pain is unbearable at times.

I read both of your posts about the jaw pain. I am wondering do you have a
virus. I just got one about a week week and a half ago. I had terrible
problems with my gums selling, cheek, and jaw pain as it moved around. I
found out it was coming from the virus. Just a thought.

interesting, hadn't though of something like that. i don't really feel "sick"
but it's something to consider.
hope you're feeling better!

I only thought of that because I had that problem with this virus. It could
be TMJ, I have that also. But it seems like something else going on too.
Not doing too good today. Blood pressure is really dropping. Don't know what
that is all about. But we shall see.

X-rays won't show osteonecrosis. At a minimum you'll need a bone scan
for that, and an MRI would be preferable as it can show a lot more
detail than a bone scan. X-rays might not even show an infection. My hip
looked fine under xray. It was dead and the surface had come off in a
piece that looked like the way a baseball is stitched together. This
didn't show on x-ray, despite multiple angles.

Just confirm with him that the x-rays will definitely show an infection
if there is one.
Cheers,
