Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I dont know if this is the group to ask this question to.. but i am going to try. If anyone can help, please respond. I have this problem with my lower right jaw. Ok, the back part of it near my neck is larger than the left side. The bone actually seems to dip lower than the other side. I have not had this problem all my life, either. I recently noticed it when I had a problem with a tooth getting pretty bad. I was put onto antibiotics, Penicillin VK 500mg, for 7 days at 4 doses a day. I then went to have the tooth extracted. After the tooth was gone, I still noticed the abnormality on my right jaw. So I went to a doctor to have it checked out, and she prescribed the same medicine, only at a smaller amount per day but for 10 days. Could there be something that people are missing here? Because the jaw seems to be protruding out more than it was before I had the tooth extracted. I looked up something on the internet called TMJ, which sounded like symptoms I was experiencing before the tooth was removed, such as pain in the lower jaw on the side of the tooth and slight earaches in that ear. But after the tooth was extracted, most of that pain went away. There is a small dull pain in the lower right jaw now where it is larger, and it is still somewhat tender to the touch, not as much as it was before the extraction. Any help is appreciated. davidanderson2@... Please email and comments to this address if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
