I Have A Great Question. I Would Like To Know If Anyone Had Any Kind Of Procedures Done And Have It Effect Your Entire Body.

I recently had to have my top teeth removed, not only did my gums hurt but it effected my entire body. Has anyone one else experience having something done and have it bother your whole body.

3 months ago I went to my dentist that knows I have fybro, super nice, he works with me, gives me a break if I need one, but I’m totally freaking out inside🤣I had pain on my crown-sad news after he seen the X-rays, my heart dropped to the floor, #1 - you have a infection underneath your crown😭 I had to see a endometriosis #2 - you have decay under your bridge🤣OMG! I wanted to die, the surgery went good, I put my earphones on and listen to some relaxing music, it was done👍🏻Thank you Jesus! I thought, hey- that was easy! A month later I was ready for the 2nd procedure, long story short, it was hell, and still hell!!! The day my permanent bridge was put on, 2 days later it broke, YES~I cried and didn’t want to go back, I been suffering with loud ringing in both ears, headaches, my body totally hurts from my feet to my head, I’ve had panic attacks, which I never had, my foot got inflame, then my knee got so inflamed, I’ve been so many times to urgent care, ER,all tests always come back good, they have no answer for all my symptoms. Well, my new bridge is on and I told my dentist, if ever I need anything done, I want everything removed, I can’t deal with this ugly life of pain!!! I see my doctor tomorrow because my foot and knee is still inflamed and won’t go away! Any suggestions are welcome please😍the photo is me at ER, I was on a IV with medication for my dizziness and nausea, they did a cat scan on my head because of the headaches, it was a BIG mess!!!! Hugs my fybro family💕

Hi
Yes, dentists cause me difficulties. I get that anxious and stressed it causes my heart to go do lally. .... and not just in the chair! Twice i have ended up in a and e with a faster than normal heartrate that had to be monitored. Plus the stress then triggers aches and paibs etc. I suppose im so bad as i had a fear of dentists to start with ... before the fibro. X

Teeth, teeth, teeth are the story of my life!
Besides fibromyalgia I have Sjogren's Syndrome - often associated with fibromyalgia. As a result I have no tears and no saliva. No saliva means no dentures as they would fall out. So, I have had 7 implants all the rest of my teeth are bridged or capped. I have had various operations over the past 50 years, too numerous to mention. The latest was for a cyst to be removed and part of the lower jaw due to infection. 99% of the time I suffer and have taken so many pain pills I have had inflammation of the stomache. My jaw joints pain for months afterwards, my gums pain and then just all my teeth pain. Some implants which took very well pained for a year afterwards. My doctor says it is phantom pains!!!!! I am so desperate that I am now at a new dentist. He says my last dentist did a lot wrong so am having my bite fixed next week but lower mouth still sore where cyst removed. Still have some money in medical aid for this year so must have it done.
Yes, my fibromyalgia flairs up as a result of all the work.

I had gastric bypass surgery 8 years ago and although I had some issues that were probably fibro related... the surgery sent the issues into hyper drive and 4 years ago I was diagnosed. I do not think it was coincidental.
