getting used to things

[tielan]

Gum at base of new root canal is still feeling throbby and tender. This translates to aches in my jaw (upper and lower), the TMJ, and the back of my head.

The 17 molar (very back, with infection above) aches when I push it from the outside. The 16 molar (new root canal tooth) aches when I chew. Neither would appear to be a good sign of things to come.

Hand and foot still feeling slightly swollen, and the foot generally feels a little tingly, diet notwithstanding.

Weirdly, I'm feeling/hearing a very soft 'grinding' noise when I turn my head from side to side, right at the top of my spine. It doesn't hurt, it's just unnerving. I don't know if it's actually new/recent or I'm only just noticing it now, let alone if it's supposed to be doing this. Mostly it's only audible first thing in the morning when things are really quiet. But I'm seeing a chiro tomorrow who will hopefully be able to advise.

I think I'm getting used to this. At least a little bit.

Noises that seem to originate from your head/neck are generally very creepy and worrying at first, I remember from my tinnitus adventure. You do either tend to get used to it or it goes away, if that's any help!

And yay!!! I'm glad all the health stuff isn't driving you as nuts now (and I still hope it gets better.)
