      Hello Everyone.

      I fell on the ice at work and fractured my right arm (radial head) on feb 20th. I went to the emergency room and they took an xray. The doctor who read the xray said it was not broken and keep using it as much as possible. On Feb 24th the hospital called and advised that the radiologist looked at the xray and it was broken and to come in the next day for a cast. About one week later my teeth were sore on the right side when I ate on that side. Exactly two weeks after my fall I came down with severe tooth ache. To make a long story short, after 9 dental appointments, a wisdom tooth pulled, a root canal done, I was still in pain. Dentist diagnosed it as wiplash with nerve damage to my face. Recommended physio therapy. So I get treatments on my face and arm and he also found places on my neck . I was taking ibproben for the pain. I have pain every few hours when on the meds. The ibprofen has raised my blood pressure so doctor has taken me off it and put me on amitriptiline, which is an anti depressant but says it is very useful in pain management. It has helped and she also said to take tylenol. It has been 2 1/2 months now and I am getting quite depressed with having pain all the time. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for listening.
