RE: Marla/ Carpal Tunnel

[Guest guest]

Well Marla, it didn't go as planned.. No surgery as of yet.. and over last weekend I woke up on Sunday morning with the R side of my face swollen, with a red streak running from my mouth to the inside of my tear duct. I was screaming with pain and I had two teeth that had abcessed.. OMG, soo I called and got some antibiotics.. and finally after the 4th day, the swelling was going away... I had to see a oral surgeon on Monday, my blood sugars went totally "NUTS" and I'm now on a regieme of Augmentin 875 for 3 weeks and they want me two teeth that have broken off to the gum line to be removed either next week.. I was told to call the carpal tunnel guy and cancel that surgery till I was over this tooth issue, if not they are afraid I'll end up with a "SUPER" infection, which would not be a good thing.. BTW, I did lose about 5lbs but who could eat..

Hugs,

Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a routine visit. Boy was I wrong. I'm having issues with Carpal Tunnel, I went thinking we were gonna talk about having the surgery done, but while I was the nurse practitioner did a pretty through head to toe assessment, somewhere in the assessment, she kept going back to my heart. She found a murmur, that I had never had.

The next think I knew I was in the Emergency Room. where they started an IV, drew blood, Chest Xray, Lower legs ultrasound, Cat Scan of my chest, all while I was in the waiting room, which was helpful since they were extremely busy. 5 hours later I was taken back to a treatment room, where I had all my test. so when I did get to see a doctor, all my test were done.

Diagnosis: Fluid overload causing the murmur. I had like 4+ edema which is pretty painful, since my days where I fell and broke my Left ankle and my R foot, and was in renal failure. My doctor had stopped my lasix that I had been taking for 10 years.

They gave me a dose of IV Lasix, a Foley catheter and sent me home, where I flooded my bag and I had lost 3000 cc since my departure of the ER, gosh I could breath again. I actually slept literally all day Saturday, and Sunday.

What a adventure.

I am so

sorry to hear this. Yes you do need to get the teeth under control; you don’t

want to end up with sepsis which is bacteria in the blood, that would make you

very, very sick. I’m sorry you have to deal with so much pain, I hate

anyone working on my teeth, I need to have one tooth crowned and have put it

off for a very long timeL but you need to get the infection under control, and if you start

getting signs of a yeast infection call your doctor and get him to call in an oral

anti fungal for you, because that is a lot of antibiotics going in to you. So I

will keep you in my prayers for quick and complete healing.
