No worries just looking for backup or possible answers doc won't do follow up scans unless abnormalties. I do not know what is abnormal. I just know it isn't right to be in tears due to pain still, not all the time mostly after a full day or therapy). All the talk of managing pain and it really isn't there. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. I can handle arthritis and joint pain, back pain but when it comes to my mouth it always has felt like throbing when I have dental work done. Even when I had all my teeth out it hurt much longer than most. I guess this is not good.
