I got the new spring in my mouth to pull the teeth over to the side. No big deal. Sore teeth as you can imagine! I'll put in a photo soon. It's hard to see unless I pull my lip to the side.
The crazy bit is that as soon as I got it in my mouth I knew it wouldn't interfere with my jaw exercises. Remember that I delayed having it put in by 6 weeks because I thought that would be the case. I could have had the braces off before Christmas, because it is only meant to be in 3 months. Grrrrr. However he did say it could open up some gaps that would then have to be closed with power chains so I am thinking I could still have more than 3 months to go.
Today I went to a GP to ask for a prescription for the amitryptiline. WELL. I ended up with a registrar and it was AWFUL. She wouldn't prescribe it, didn't believe I have a TMJ problem. I said how come my jaw mobility is so awful. It's the braces, she said. I've noticed braces mean children can't open their mouths properly. I told her that was absolutely WRONG.
I could rant on about her but really have been so wound up it would not be good for me!
I got home and rang my surgeon. He wrote a script straight away.
The $40 I paid the GP would have been better flushed down the toilet.

Andrea...
ReplyDeleteI hope things get much better VERY quickly for you. And shame on that woman for telling you such ridiculous things about braces and jaws! I can imagine your frustration.
I posted a comment about 4 days ago on your blog, and I realize now that it never posted!!! It was quick long, and detailed...No use in crying over spoiled milk.
Happy Belated Birthday (again)! Have fun with those chickens! :-)
...I meant to say the message was QUITE long and detailed...not "quick, long and detailed"...Long week. LOL!
ReplyDeleteQuestion....Is a registrar like an intern??
ReplyDeleteHi, yes I think intern means the same thing. It's a junior doctor but not the most junior.
