Been a doozy of an anxiety day today. I swear I posted about this ages ago but I went through my post history and couldn't find a thread about this - interesting to see my anxiety spiral in retrospect though.
So I've had this tiny, feels smaller than a pin head, movable lump in my right inner cheek just above my bottom wisdom tooth for...lord knows how long now? I was anxious about it in the past but it was one of the lumps that was towards the bottom of the anxiety list so to say. Anyway I'm having dental cavity issues at the moment. The second molar away from the wisdom tooth is a filled one but my dentist said it has a cavity in it again and needs refilling, at least I'm pretty sure it is this tooth as two days ago I had niggling pain in it. Not climb the walls pain but enough for me to take ibuprofen. Pain's pretty much gone now, but now I have a SECOND pin size movable lump in my cheek, in the general area of this tooth :( The wisdom tooth also has a small side cavity and I recall the dentist saying a year or two ago that it had a 'shadow' so I assume they meant cavity anyway? And now the lump that I've had for a while actually feels more fused the area and feels bigger to me but I don't know whether to just write it down to me overanalysing the area as per usual.
Right so I have two of these bloody things now. None on the other side. Google gave no home remedies apart from your usual 30 cancers. Don't think there's any lymph nodes in your cheeks and I'm sure your salivary ducts are under your tongue and upper cheek, not where I'm feeling them? Has anyone had anything like this please? :huh: I'm spiraling down into thinking this is definitely cancer again :(
