[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 554184"] Thank you VERY much Flutterby and Nancy. Nancy...that sounds awful! (Hugs) to you both. HOnestly, this has been harrowing. Flutterby...you said you didn't have an infection at the time...and that is likely the key diff. between us. I had my procedure on 9/4 and it has been horrible ever since. I don't even know who to ask about that parotid gland. Both the oral surgeon and the dentist mentioned that they could see lots of inflammation below the tooth, into the jaw. I'm not sure if it is worse at this time...but I do wish to see a comparison. Both the dentist and the oral surgeon mentioned that I have a large gland very near the inflammation and going near my tooth, up the side of my face/ear. This could be the gland you speak of???? The pain in the tooth area vacillates. I always have pain, but sometimes it is as bad as a ten. Of late, it is hitting that level at least once a day and I'm taking Percocet often now. [I]My surgery to remove the graft is this afternoon. The first oral surgeon I sent to copped an attitude and said my dentist should fix his own problems. I found another oral surgeon to do it. He is going to take a culture. [/I]I've never had low grade fevers before, they started the day after the procedure just over three weeks ago and are daily and nothing I take lowers them. They are tiring me at this point. I've had one questionable decision made after the other (by dentists) and I'm upset by this. I think with inflammation/possible infection and a hx of lupus, it was big time debatable whether that graft should have gone in on the same day as the extraction and the oral surgeon I saw strongly hinted the same. Anyway, for those so inclined, please keep a good thought for me for my surgery this afternoon and that this entire thing gets better. I struggle very hard to keep my health in a decent place and this has been very hard. [/QUOTE]
