Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / February 2007Help - need advice - my eyes hurt after implant/sinus lift surgery
I had the surgery yesterday and today all day my eyes have been hurting. Light seems to hurt them, and it hurts to keep my eyes open. I've also had a splitting headache all day. The eye problem is kind of like if you stare into the bright sun, it hurts your eyes so you stop looking, or you squint. But this is just happening indoors with normal lighting. I assume the headache is from all the POUNDING they did during the sinus lift, (osteotomes) but would that affect my eyes? And why didn't my eyes hurt yesterday? The pain in my eyes only started today. I've been taking tylenol and codeine (1 every few hours), and the amoxicillin he prescribed (500mg 3 times a day). Any ideas what is going on with my eyes? > I had the surgery yesterday and today all day my eyes have been > hurting. Light seems to hurt them, and it hurts to keep my eyes open. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Any ideas what is going on with my eyes? I was going to ask what antibiotics you were on, as some (notably the tetracyclines) are photosensitizing. Some headaches are accompanied by occular disturbances such as you are describing. But I think the recent surgery is more than enough to explain your symptoms now. Give it a few days, and by all means keep your surgeon informed about this. Steve >> I had the surgery yesterday and today all day my eyes have been >> hurting. Light seems to hurt them, and it hurts to keep my eyes open. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >Steve Thanks for the reply! I have taken amoxicillin and tylenol-4 various times before (although not the 2 of them together, as far as I can remember) and never had either of them cause photo-sensitivity. I'm thinking all the pounding on my head must have jarred something or upset something to do with my vision. Hope it's nothing permanent or hard to heal! > On Sun, 04 Feb 2007 03:24:29 GMT, Steven Bornfeld > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Sounds painful! Sorry to hear about your troubles. >Sounds painful! Sorry to hear about your troubles. Thanks. Yes, it was even more painful during the night. I had to take quite a bit more tylenol-codeine than I normally would, plus some valium to sleep through it. That helped, but when I finally woke up around 8am, the pain was so bad I couldn't sleep, nor did I want to wake up and suffer the pain. So I took more valium and more tylenol-codeine and went back to sleep. Woke up at 11:40am and for the moment I feel better but not sure how long that will last. I have to go to work today. IF it wasn't Superbowl Sunday I'd call in sick, for sure, but that wouldn't go over well - they'd think I was faking it to attend a party, and they'd have a hard time replacing me. Bad timing. So I have to go in. I may have to dope myself up on tylenol-codeine all day to get through it if it's anything like yesterday. Last night I took to wearing sunglasses in the living room, the light was hurting my head so bad. I'm calling my surgeon tomorrow to discuss all this. >> On Sun, 04 Feb 2007 03:24:29 GMT, Steven Bornfeld >> [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >> >> - Show quoted text - > >Sounds painful!

Are you saying that the sensitivity to light could be caused from infection? I am already 2/3 the way through my course of amoxicillin. Should I ask my doctor to stop it and instead prescribe me a whole new course of another antibiotic? Why do you say amoxicillin may not be good these days? p.s. The light sensitivity only lasted during the 2nd day after surgery, it was 90% better by the 3rd day and now on the 4th day I'm not even sure if I have it or not, if I do, it's very slight. If I had infection wouldn't I have pain in my mouth that got worse each day? Instead, it is getting better each day. I'm just trying to understand why you think I need a different antibiotic. >Are you saying that the sensitivity to light could be caused from >infection?

I would get another antibiotic into the picture. you could lose your eye sight from the swelling and pressure on the optic nerve which is right above your sinus, why take a chance. infections from sinus lifts are almost expected. > Why do you say amoxicillin may not be good these days? because it not as effective as it once was. bacteria have mutated (natural selection) as a result of amoxicillin being over prescribed for everything including liability reasons such as lifetime pre- medication for dentistry on patients who had history of hip replacement surgery . Blame it on the lawyers for sticking their noses where they do not belong. So I'm waiting for a call back from my surgeon, I told him what you said about the amoxicillin not working well. Do you maintain that I could still have infection even though the eye sensitivity is much better now, almost none? >> On 5 Feb 2007 14:46:46 -0800, "Alexander Vasserman DDS" >> [quoted text clipped - 86 lines] >replacement surgery .

I have some Clindamycin at home as well as some Cephalexin.

And...? >>(I'm a fly on the wall) > > ???? > And...? My guess would be to see if anyone 'bit' on your question about antibiotic use. It would be inappropriate for a dentist to recommend a specific antibiotic to a specific patient by reading posts on a newsgroup. No exam is possible. No accurate diagnosis is possible. No prescriptions are possible. It is also not a recommended practice to take someone elses meds or even some of your own old prescriptions from a different doctor for a different ailment. D >>>(I'm a fly on the wall) >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >D But no one is prescribing, someone is just suggesting that I speak to my doctor about an alternative. As to not a recommended practice to take old prescriptions, etc., let me say that in many other countries, one can go to the drugstore and buy whatever drug you want, except for narcotics. I have treated myself with cephalexin when I have a sinus infection, based on my doctor here giving my sister that for the same thing, and lo and behold, it works. I have treated myself for years, with minor bacterial infections with no ill results. I try not to take antibiotics unless I really need them and I know the difference between a cold and a bacterial infection, I recognize the signs and symptoms. In Mexico, for example, many people treat themselves based on the pharmacist's recommendation. I'm not saying that is always the best way, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper and usually it works out okay. > But no one is prescribing I never suggested that they were. I simply stated that it's beyond the reasonable practice of dentistry (in the US) to make specific drug recommendations without ever seeing a patient in person. I think you asked about taking antibiotics that you had in the cabinet. There is no way that I could say, "that's a good idea". > I'm not saying that is always the best way, but it's a hell of a lot > cheaper and usually it works out okay. The pat answer would be that I think the physicians and dentists have a little better idea what drugs should be prescribed and for what conditions. There is even an old saying that a physician who treats himself has a fool for a doctor and a fool for a patient. If it is unwise for a physician to treat themselves, why would a lay person do better? 'Course I think many physicians pass out too many prescriptions already (mainly because the patients expect pills to cure their ills). If lay people were left to buy any and all meds, many would be taking antibiotics for colds and sniffles. JMO, D >I think you asked about taking antibiotics that you had in the >cabinet. There is no way that I could say, "that's a good idea". I'm not looking for a fight, but just for the sake of discussion: Why is there no way one could say "cephalexin will work better for infection after a sinus lift than amoxicillin". It's not prescribing, it's just informing someone of the uses of different antibiotics. It is my understanding that certain antibiotics are better for certain things. One can look up this info on the internet or at the library. So why couldn't one say, for example, "The cephalexin is better after a sinus lift than amoxicillin"? I do understand that one has to be careful of lawsuits, but I believe it can be worded in such a way that it is not recommending or prescribing, but rather just informing one of the differences and which is better for which ailment. No? >> I'm not saying that is always the best way, but it's a hell of a lot >> cheaper and usually it works out okay. > >The pat answer would be that I think the physicians and dentists >have a little better idea what drugs should be prescribed and for >what conditions. Yes, in complicated situations, yes. But for example, I have called my doctor many times in the past and asked for an antibiotic. He has then asked me, "Do you have yellow or green discharge from your nose?" and I have said "yes" and "do you have a fever?" and I have said "yes", and he has prescribed an antibiotic for me on the phone, often amoxicillin or similar. So I bought amoxicillin, which the doctor at the pharmacy in Mexico told me was better than amoxicillin, and I use that when I get a similar bacterial infection. Works like a charm. It doesn't take a genius nor a doctor to prescribe antibiotics for a bacterial infection, nor to recognize a bacterial infection. I've been treating myself successfully in this manner, for years, and so do other people I know. Now, if I get bronchitis or pneumonia or something more serious, then I will go to the doctor. But why should I pay for an office visit, sit around all day with a bunch of sick people waiting for my appt., when I can prescribe antibiotics for myself? Likewise, I could have taken the cephalexin I have in the cabinet for the sinus infection after my surgery. But I asked a couple of doctors first, just to be sure because it was NOT a common bacterial infection but rather a post-surgery infection. >> I think you asked about taking antibiotics that you had in the >> cabinet. There is no way that I could say, "that's a good idea". [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > infection after a sinus lift than amoxicillin". It's not prescribing, > it's just informing someone of the uses of different antibiotics. One could say it; wouldn't make it true. Misuse of antibiotics--and resultant growth in bacterial resistance==is rapidly becoming one of the tragedies of modern medicine.

[quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > first, just to be sure because it was NOT a common bacterial infection > but rather a post-surgery infection. Yes, I am aware that antibiotics are over used. Yet I know that taking an antibiotic when I have a bacterial infection is better than not taking one, for my health. All I'm saying is that I think I can prescribe when I need one for a bacterial infection such as a common sinus infection that I get a couple times a year, as well as the doctor can. And I know if I don't take an antibiotic when I have one, I will get worse.

And that is not just one M.D. but several I have had over the past 10 years. I'm not saying that one should take antibiotics at the first sign of a sniffle, not at all. I'm saying that if I tend to get sinus infections or sore throats and the doctor always prescribes the same thing, sometimes it is easier and cheaper for me to just self-prescribe. In a perfect world I would go to the doctor every time I had anything I thought might be a bacterial infection and let him prescribe for me. However, sometimes the cost, the time and the annoyance factor makes me want to treat myself, and all I am saying is that I have been doing that SUCCESSFULLY for some time, now. You guys may be right that it leads to overuse of antibiotics in general and thus makes them less effective in the long run. But for me, personally, it has been working. That's all I'm saying. Your warnings, however, have served the purpose of making me re-evaluate this and maybe next time I'll give more consideration to pending the extra time and money to go to the doctor. >>>Yes, I am aware that antibiotics are over used.

Fair enough. Let me say though that just because physicians (ie: those with the Magic Degree) prescribe empirically does not make this good medical practice. And if you are getting repeated bouts of sinus infections, it suggests to me that you have a chronic sinusitis that is not being dealt with.

About the only thing that works for me to help me not have stuffy/runny nose on a daily basis is one of those non-systemic corticosteroids like beconase or flonase. The slew of allergists and ent's I've been to all say that these are not health-damaging even though I've taken them for years on a daily basis. However every time I try something not corticosteroid, it causes me to have a long bout of the sniffles and stuffy nose until I give up and go back to the flonase or whatever. I get the sinus infections from these sprays, I believe. But it's only once or so a year, at best, and a quick bout of anti-b's usually knocks it right out. >> Fair enough.

Most in their estimation were of little or no value.

I realize this is just anecdotal evidence and not worth much, but I am pretty sure it works for me. I drink about one of those 1000mg Emergen-C drinks every day, plus a multi vitamin and I have noticed less colds since I started doing so. >> I heard that one. Several years ago there was an article in Consumer >>Reports doing a survey of the best-known alternative meds. Most in [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > maybe cars. Their product reviews are sometimes lacking, and > definitely biased. I'm inclined that they leave something to be desired in both the timeliness factor (some manufacturers rush out new product lines so quickly that models reviewed in CR may no longer be available; they also seem (to me) geared to the needs of the average consumer. Someone who is an enthusiastic amateur sportsman, photographer, audiophile, etc. is likely I think to view their tastes as very "vanilla" and pedestrian, more concerned with ease of use and durability than high quality (I say this based on my feelings about their reviews of products I know about). However, I can't say I remember seeing any displays of outright bias. Even in the area of health care, I remember them being very strongly against the use of thimerosol preservatives in vaccines, and also against the use of cellular preparations in DTP vaccines. In this regard, they are much more closely positioned to the so-called "alternative health" camp than they are to the pharmo industry. >> So I take some of this stuff for what I call "placebo effect by proxy". >> ;-) > > Well, a placebo effect even by proxy is okay, if it helps! ;-) It's far better than a placebo to me!! > Here's a couple studies I found on echinacea, not major studies but > they show some evidence: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I drink about one of those 1000mg Emergen-C drinks every day, plus a > multi vitamin and I have noticed less colds since I started doing so. I don't get too many colds, but when I get one it's (as they say) "a beaut". I've tried C, echinacea, zinc, etc.--I don't claim that my personal experience means anything, but I haven't noticed any difference regardless of what I do. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 I had endoscopic sinus surgery 13 years ago. It was a long procedure under GA. The ENT opened all the meati between the sinuses so that every thing would drain properly. After He removed the tampons from my nose, I could breath easily through it. I haven't had to use Afrin or had a sinus infection since then. >I had endoscopic sinus surgery 13 years ago. It was a long procedure >under GA.

Different antibiotics are better at killing or controlling different types of bacteria, period. You can use a shotgun approach and this can be effective. In resistant infections, cultures and sensitivity tests should be performed.

My oral surgeon/periodontist called me back and I told him what you (Dr. Alexander) said about amoxicillin not working well and he agreed to prescribe me the Augmentin. I'll start on it today (assuming the pharmacy has it so I can get it today. Thanks for the concern and recommendation - I'd rather be safe than sorry, as I told my surgeon, and so he agreed. He also seemed to think I shouldn't still be having so much pain after 5 days. It's not a lot of pain, but enough that I'm still taking 400-600mg of ibuprofen several times a day. > >>So I'm waiting for a call back from my surgeon, I told him what you > >>said about the amoxicillin not working well.

I'm not saying that it was a mistake to give you amox, just that you developed an infection that was resistant to it to a point where things got worse than better. catching it early and maintaining contact with the surgeon is important in these cases. Orafacial infections are not a joke and can be fatal if not treated fast. glad to hear your eye is getting better. These things sometimes happen. > >So I'm waiting for a call back from my surgeon, I told him what you > >said about the amoxicillin not working well.

My doc gave me the generic form of augmentin; it says Amox TR-K CLV 500 125 mg. Tatev What does that all mean? Is this as good as augmentin? What is the difference between cephalexin and this generic augmentin they gave me. I could ask my doc if I could take the cephalexin instead. (the augmentin generic only cost me $10) This is the 6th day after surgery and I still have a headache almost all day, albeit a mild one most of the time. Sometimes it's strong enough I need to take ibuprofen or tylenol-codeine. My doc said that wasn't too unusual considering how he pounded on my head during the sinus lift. But it seems like I shouldn't still be having all-day headaches...? >Are you saying that the sensitivity to light could be caused from >infection?
