As if I didn’t have enough problems with being tired for no apparent reason, and yawning excessively when I don’t feel tired, I have now for a week or so starting having extreme pain in the left part of my face when I try to sleep. The pain is intense enough to prevent sleep despite taking the medicine I was prescribed for this problem, hydrocodone, at bedtime and again during the night when I awoke from pain.
The intense pain is for the most part waiting until I lay down to go to sleep.
So far the pain goes away about hour or an hour and a half after waking up.
The dentist says it shouldn’t be tooth pain. I am getting a crown on a tooth in the lower left; I have the temporary on now. However, that toot feels just fine, the gum seems to have accepted the temporary with no trouble. The dentist has tested all the teeth for sensitivity to cold, being tapped, etc. and nothings seems sensistive to touch. The dental pick doesn’t find any cavities.
The pain is not appearing in the exact same place each time. Most of the time it’s been the upper left area, once it was the lower left tooth area, but once, is seemed farther back, at the jaw hinge.
I failed to call the dentist early enough in the day to get the prescription refilled.
I’ve never seen or heard of anyone yawning like I do.
