First thanks so much for your opinion.The oral surgeon I chose to go to has a good reputation.But I have been told that if I had an infection after 6 weeks my oral surgeon should have done a culture to check and see what it might be.I begged him to do so for over a year.He kept saying things like well I have been through this kind of thing before and a patient wanted his implants removed and he still had infection.So I think he was trying to make me believe that my sinuses were the culprit.Not the implants.But if you taste puss in your mouth for over a year,Are unable to eat food that is healthy because you basically must gum any food you can.This is not healthy.I could not use the dentures.To put them on caused terrible pain.This is my question.Shouldn't he have sent me to another doctor sooner.And by that I am talking about an ears nose and throat guy.The reason I chose to get a second opinion was that the first ent I saw I had to turn the ct right side up.His office was nasty and rusty.There were no patients in the lobby .I just thought that I wanted a second opinion.Then that doc says he didn't see infection in my ct.I then did the same thing,palpated around the implant to show him.Then he says well that is coming from the infection.I said but just not 3 minutes ago you said I didn't have an infection.Now you say there are swollen glands etc...And then he said well you should just go back to your oral surgeon.I said he sent me to you.Why can't someone just be honest with me before I die.Have you got any idea what it feels like to be toothless when you are out in public.Have to decline all invitations of eating out because you basically can eat nothing but oatmeal,milk,etc...Sometimes I am so hungry I just drink a big glass of milk so the hunger pains go away.I have had to struggle with getting referrals and getting to the imaging places when I can barely dress myself.I also have fibro,myofascail,IBS,TMJ,Spinal Stenosis,8 herniatd disc,severe sleep apnea,and with all of that I am having to have injections and constantly going to this doctor or that lab work.I asked my oral surgeon to put me in the hopital and find out what is the problem.I was terrified I had osteomyelitis.I had it in the past.Although no one will be honest about that.Isn't an oral surgeon who has maxiofacial surgery plastered all over his office competent enough to put me in the hospital and find out what the problem is.And by the way the second ent I saw said he didn't do this kind of surgery.So imagine my surprise when I was getting a set of injections on my back  at a one day surgical procedure location to see this second ent who didn't do this kind of surgery or have knowledge of it to walk out in scubs.I don't understand how over a 10 year period,4 different oral surgeons,why did not someone stand up for me instead of worrying about their time being spent supporting another doctor who was incompetant.This has overwhelmed my life and no one has the guts to stand up for me? When I have been done wrong and other people will say so.Just not for the record.They are afraid if they do they will lose their job etc,,,You might think I am being revengeful.When all I want is justice.Aren't doctors supposed to first do no harm.When harm has been done they don't have the guts to say yes this woman has had enough help from doctors who just kept making it worse.I just don't understand why even here at this site.Why won't you see that all I want is someone to agree that I was done wrong and that I do want to tell others so that they wont have this done to them.I want justice.So how can I help others keep from falling for the same line I did......Jo
