they are saying it is chronic sclerosing ostiomyelitis. They replaced it with a titanium plate for now and now I wait 6 months then they want to go in and add bone to it then another 6 month wait to add teeth back that i lost and make me look like me again! They removed 3/4 of the bone because that was how much was affected in the scans and they wanted to get it all so I didnt go through all this and it come back. I have already been down the i.v. antibiotic, debridement, hbo, ect. road and it did not work. I too am exhausted with it all but I am missing my teeth already and this no chew diet is driving me crazy already and its only been 18 days since I had my surgery.
