For the past 3 weeks I've been having problems with the molar on the back right side of my mouth it's cracked and when I went to the dentist he told me it needed to come out he wouldn't mess around with it and refered me to a oral surgeon obviously it was infected or he would have given me antibiotics and I am due for a consult with the oral surgeon on July 2nd (not to far off) well I have worked myself into a flippin tizzy because it hurts every now which goes promptly away with a one single Motrin.. can't be THAT bad if a 200 mg Motrin whisks away the pain... yeesh I feel like a little baby. Of course I started looking up "what could go wrong" on google and came across this rare (note the word rare) complication of a lower tooth infection (which they never even said I had) called Ludwig's Angina and now I have convinced myself that I have it!! (Mind you the tooth hasn't hurt much today and I'm being evaluated for TMJ as well which can cause heaps of pain as well) even though I know this I am freaking out over the almighty Google and what the search said!
Of course I've gone and given myself a grand old anxiety attack which has a lovely tightening of the throat to go with it.. which is making me think oh no my tongue is swelling up the infection is spreading what am I oing to do AHHHHHH... *sighs* I hate google.. but I'm addicted.. how do I stop?
