Thanks for the reply Christine...yes..i have had blood work ..they saw a little infection in the white cells...i'm going to see my ENT tomorrow...I have pain that runs down my cheek and runs through my jaw and down my neck...very scary...the pain in my cheek has been there for a few months now...had a clear scan..the whole cheek is hurting...could a scan miss something ? I asked my ENT to do a biopsie just to be on the safe side...he said..what do you want me to do a biopsy on...there is no lump...i'm very frustrated...and now that i'm feeling worst than ever...
