I had made an appointment to see my doctor. I would have seen him at 1pm but I called the office back. I wanted to let them know what exactly was going on.
The doctor ended up telling me to go to the hospital. He said they'd be able to take care of the problem better then he could.
I get to the hospital and they do an X-Ray of my jaw. Then I wait around a while for it to come back. The doctor looks at it, then asks me if I can open my mouth. If I could open my mouth I would not have been there. He tells me he'll needs to pop my jaw back into place.
He tried to get his fingers in my mouth. Which wasn't an easy task, since I could barley open my mouth. Then he tells me not to bite him and I just look at him like he's nuts. He then proceeds to pull down on my jaw till there is a loud pop. That hurt like a bitch and if I could have yelled I would of.
They give me some Percocet for the pain and tell me to wait till it starts to work. After a while the doctor came back and had me try to open my mouth. Still can't open it that much. So he sends me for a CT scan. I get that doen and wait for the results. They show my jaw is now sitting where it should be. The reason I can't open my mouth , is the muscles are all very tight. There isn't anything else they can do for me.
So I am sent home with instructions to see an oral surgeon in a few days and a prescription for Percocet. I was also told to use warm compresses to help relax the muscles.
