ClaireG Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 If i could reach the blooming thing i'd try, i'm so desperate now. I ended up spending from 1-30ish am to 12 noon in A&E on Wednesday because i was also getting chest pain as well as the tooth pain. The problem is i now have to have more cardiac tests etc and have been put on asprin so am at even higher risk of problems occurring. Saw Dr yesterday and i can't take any NSAID's apart from the low dose asprin as they now think i may have a peptic ulcer or gastritis and have put me on Omeprazole. He wouldn't give me a scrip for any other pain relief and has said when my Tramadol run out i can't have more as they are addictive. On my Auntie's advice (she is a nurse) i went to the dentist at 8 this morning, when they opened and have demanded they do another referral to the maxo's urgently. My Dentist isn't it but the receptionist is trying to get hold of the maxo's to explain and see if they will do something. If they can't i have to see my dentist tomorrow and see if he can get the referral done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think you are being a very patient patient. I hope it's sorted out by today and you don't have to put up with another sleepless night. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireG Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 The receptionist phoned to say that the maxos wouldn't see me as it isn't a matter of life or death and a proper referral has to be done and then the consultant will place me in order of urgency. I have just seen another dentist at the practice who has done some work on another tooth and the gum in the hope it will be enough until i get seen by the hospital.
