[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 554483"] Hi Terry. Thank you for asking. The oral surgeon spent a lot of time cleaning out the site. The X-ray shows a large dark area where the tooth use to be and down low into the jaw and very near a large nerve. He cleaned with antibiotics, but didn't want to get too close to the nerve. I'm on a large dosage of antibiotic and have also started a Medrol packet. He suspects minor infection and excessive inflammation...an unusual combination, perhaps due to the Sjorgens. My blood pressure medication has been tripled. I still have a low grade fever, but just now it seem to go down ever so slightly. It has fluctuated a bit over the three weeks...so hard to say. My pain was very bad last night, which was expected. Today it has been better. I'm seeing a cardiologist Monday. The removal of the graft and the Medrol pack are two new things and I'm hoping the cardiologist can add insight. The dentist said if there is not improvement soon with the ear pain, I'll have to see a neurologist. Anyway, trying new things gives me much hope. I am really hoping the steroids help...the 3-4 weeks of low grade fever + pain has exhausted me. Thank you again. [/QUOTE]
