Q.
I had five implants in my lower jaw in November 2009. I am 60 and was told that because of the bone atrophy of 38 years, my jaw was like that of a 90 year. During the surgery with implant “B” my left arm and left leg came flying up in the air which of course frightened the Surgeon as well as the patient . I had no contol over that motion as a nerve had been struck. That implant came loose and had to be replaced five weeks later.When the freezing needle was inserted the nerve again was hit causing the same reaction. Since then I have been having excruciating pain in my right shoulder blade,shoulder and arm.Sometimes in all three locations or it can be in either the arm or shoulder or shoulder blade.Is this something that will eventually clear up? Is the Implant on the nerve? Meds and hot baths and exercises as well as prayer help temporarily-but what is the big picture. A few minutes on the computer intesifies the pain and that is even with using my left hand.Even driving antagonizes it. Has anyone else experiened this, as I somehow don”t believe this is an isolated case.
