Lower jaw symptoms and conditions

I am a 46 yr old woman. After developing 3 DVT's in my lower rt calf after major foot surgery, I was prescribed Coumadin/Warfarin. My doses have fluctuated between 1mg to 7.5mg (I have just lowered my dose from 6mg to 5mg as my INR yesterday was 3.9). I have noticed a lot of the symptoms listed above (others comments), but have bumbled along. The symptom that is bothering is my mouth! I can hardly eat or talk - my lower jaw especially aches constantly and even despite using an extra soft toddlers toothbrush, my gums bleed profusely. I only read of one other persons symptom regarding teeth/gums/mouth. I know it sounds melodramatic, but my mouth aches as though I had mouth cancer!!! I can't wait to get off this rat poison! Good luck to all.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DANGEROUS DRUG!!!!!
Doctors prescribed this to my mother for 5 years!!!! Because of it's devastating side effects it is FDA approved for short term 4-12 weeks and only as a last resort. And NEVER for Parkinson's patients. It is unclear if Reglan caused the Parkinson's like symptoms or if she had it prior. Either way the doctor was so wrong to prescribe this medication to her. She is completely disabled can't walk or even get out of a chair had a auto accident and falls one time a metal frame fell on her head causing a hospital visit another time she fell into cactus! I was horrified to learn that no one caught this error. Not one doctor or the drug store told my parents REGLAN could cause her to end up using a walker and unable to function even the simplest daily tasks and that these symptoms could be permanent.

10 months ago I was injected with Septocaine for a lower mandibular nerve block for a root canal in my lower jaw, right side. Since then I've had a terrible paresthesia of my tongue, right side, with burning pain, numbness and tingling, stiffness, and terrible taste sensations 24/7. This drug is dangerous and should be banned IMO. I don't know what I'm going to do... there is no treatment for nerve damage. I contacted Dr. Tony Pogrel at UCSF in California who told me that surgery is not indicated for injectional injuries and that if it doesn't clear up by the third month then the chances of recovery are "very poor". Just great. How the heck did this drug EVER get FDA approval????????

I was injected with Septocaine for a lower mandibular nerve block for a root canal on my lower jaw, right side. Since then, I have had a terrible paresthesia of my tongue with burning pain, numbness, tingling, stiffness, and horrible taste sensations 24/7. It's been 10 months and still no relief. I believe I've been permanently damaged by this drug. My lingual nerve is damaged. Any ideas on what do do will be appreciated.

Im not sure if there's any connection, but I took Augmentin for 7 days for an abcess in my lower jaw molar, right side. I am suffering now from tinnitus. But it happend at the same time I was sleeping only 4 hours a day, preparing lessons for school which I did for 2 months, and I was drinking more than my usual serving of brewed coffee--twice a day, big mug, maybe 10 oz mug.

I can't really say I have anything new to report. I had been taking Lovastatin for maybe a couple of years, first 20 mgs, then 40. I don't remember having any problem with that. Then about 4 months ago my Dr. switched me to Zocor, 80 mgs because my cholesterol was 240. First I started having numbness in my feet and legs, cramps in my feet and Charlie horses at night in my legs. I mentioned it to my Dr. but he just seemed to feel it's part of the aging process and not to worry. Then my knee started hurting so bad I couldn't bend it and could hardly get up and down the stairs. I went in and they said I had arthritis and gave me Nabumetone and Vicodin which I didn't want to take because of the side effects. I finally gave in because the pain was getting worse. I was supposed to take two pills bit I only took one and I only took the Vicodin if I just couldn't stand it any longer. I took the drug for about 3 weeks and I wasn't getting any better. In fact my other leg started hurting, and my elbow and two or three times my lower jaw felt numb and I thought, Oh my God, I'm having a stroke. Anyway by some miracle I found this web site and see that many others are suffering the same symptoms that I'm having. What is wrong with the doctors? I am trusting my Dr. with my life. I'm sure he's heard similar complaints before about these drugs, but he acts like it's no big deal. I told him I don't want to take this anymore and he said well sometimes people do get some muscle pain but you can take a over the counter medication, not sure of the name, CO-2, something like that.
I'm wondering what's happened to the Dr's integrity? Why do they keep pushing these drugs when they know they are harmful? I guess I have to look for another Dr. My Dr. is with Kaiser. I guess they all pedal the same poison. So sad that we are controlled by the drug companies for profit. They are killing us. Look what happened with the HRT drugs. Meanwhile I'm afraid to quit this drug cold turkey since I was on such a high dose so I'm cutting the pills in half, 40 mgs, and then in about 2 weeks I will go to 20 and hopefully by then I will have selected something natural and safe. I am 67 years old. Before this I was active and I used to walk my dog a mile everyday. I can no longer do that. Right now my leg hurts so bad I don't want to take another pill but I'm scared if I quit cold turkey something terrible will happen. It's a holiday...

Just started taking lisinopril (2nd dose today, 20 mg) for HBP. I have had HBP for about 15 years. I was taking HCTZ, a diuretic, plus atenelol. That stuff makes you feel miserable, depressed, paranoid along with major constipation and very low potassium blood levels. I changed doctor and he has a completely different approach. So far my only side effect from lisinopril has been slight weakness in my lower jaw and the nagging dry cough. I guess you have to get used to these and other side effects. Anything is better than being depressed. Maybe the side effects will lessen as time goes by. I'm optimistic.

I went to the dentist to have three old fillings replaced, he administered a shot to each side of my lower jaw, telling me he was injecting it directly into the jaw bone itself instead of the nerve. I also experienced an enormous reaction, heart racing, felt like I was loosing consciousness. The dentist noticed my reaction, had the assistant put a cold towel on my head. But after I recovered, he administered more on the other side! The whole reaction started again, this time more intense. The effect lasted for over an hour, I had to wait in the office before I felt ready to drive home. I will insist on a full explanation of what is being administered next time, and if the dentist objects, I will leave the chair.

I took one pill and fifteen min. later I started having a pain in my stomach. I thought, well maybe I didn't eat and drink enough, so I drank another glass of water even though I'd eaten a good size meal before taking med. Five min. later the pain switched from stomach to chest and back pains, but mostly in my chest. Also, my finger nail beds turned blue and I could not get warm and had chills. My heart did not seem to be racing and was steady, though I did get a mild head ache. At the peak of the pains it radiated up my neck and lower jaw, and no matter how I lay I could not make it go away.

I experienced a sudden feeling of overwhelming exhaustion during the whole ordeal. Symptoms persisted for a few hours, didn't stop until shivers had passed and by then I had a temperature of 100.7 when I previously had none whatsoever. I think about 96.6 was my average before that. The next day I was extremely tired and unaccountably restless.

The only other med I had been taking was a 24 hr. Alavert that dissolved on the tongue... it didn't even have a decongestant in it. CVS lady said there was no reason I couldn't take it along side the Guaifenex. Now I'm not sure what to believe. It scared me enough that I don't think I would ever risk taking it ever again.

I was on Zometa for a couple of years. I ended up with what they call Dead Jaw. I have had 2 surgerys on my jaw . The bone in my mouth will never be the same ever again.I have a big dip in my lower jaw bone now. It was very painful and has really ruin my mouth.I can no longer eat some of the things i used to if they hard.I is a terrible thing to go threw. I hope i dont have to go threw anymore surgery. It was cause from the Zometa. Thank you, Denise

Help!! Has anyone experienced severe swelling of the lips? (Appears to be a type of "cheilitis" and some on-line info ties ACE inhibitors to cheilitis.) This started about 11 hours ago - Dr. treated as allergic reaction with steroid pack and antihistimine which was supposed to produce near immediate results. IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE MINUTE!!! My lips are about to split open they're so big and the swelling has also extended to the lower jaw area.
