Im so sorry you are still having trouble so long after tx. Im very familiar with loose teeth and HBO. Please send me a PM if you have questions. I had all my teeth removed due to radiation damage they were all very loose.
As far as you patch goes, its very low. Im on 50mg right now with oxycodone and hydrocodone for any breakthru pain. I forgot to put a new patch on one day and then stupidly thought I didnt need it. Wow was I wrong, you would be surprised at how much pain the 25 works on. Please be honest with your doc and let him know you werent truthful before. He can only help you if he knows the whole situation.
Saying prayers that better days are in the very near future for you.
