I had the weirdest experience at the endodontist this morning and am
wondering if someone would comment/confirm what I suspect.
Background: my only pre-existing medical condition is hypothyroidism
for which I take Synthroid daily. The doc injected me once amd I did
not become numb; so then she began another injection. It seemed she
stuck the needle in really far to me, but Im no dentist, so any way,
immediately I had extremely blurred vision, dizzyness,nausea, and
tremors to that side of the body. I stopped the doc, and told her
what I was experiencing, and she stated it would stop in a few
minutes, which it did except for a throbbing sensation in the sinus
area. Later I would have aching on the side of my head down to my
shoulder. At the time the doc seemed to insinuate that I was either
A:hysterical, B: making up the symptoms, C:did something to cause the
symptoms, D:all of the above plus I must not have eaten that morning.
I have had extensive dental work in the past with numerous injections
and never had any thing like this happen. The closest I can think of
is when I had an epidural infiltrate, and I had vison changes. I am a
nurse, so I understand a few things, and think she may have injected
into my bloodstream. If so, are there any long term effects from
something like that?? By the by, I never did become numb in the least!! |

More than likely.

None that I know of.

You wouldn't if there was an intravascular injection. |

I was just curious. Indeed, sounds like an intravascular injection.

Reasonable question. Reasonable answers.
It sure is nice to see more sensible posting going in the
newsgroup.
I wonder how long it will last.
;-)

BTW, I was working on an upper second molar for an RN a couple
of weeks ago. Negative aspiration with the injection, but
lo and behold her cheek starts to swell. Hematoma. Dammit!
Oh, did I also mention that she was my wife?!?

She's been reasonably understanding <G>.
Has anyone ever had a male patient develop a hematoma?
Every one that's happened to me has been female.
(Knocking on wood of course, I don't want one on some
guy next week)

No. I've never had a significant injection hematoma. I once saw a
doozey at the dental school--blew up like a balloon. Yes, it was a woman.
I have had a patient (a lawyer) tell me he had something for me to see.
He opened up a little plastic box with the male attachment to an "O"
ring retainer on a full overdenture we'd delivered maybe 2 years before.
Attached to the attachment was the entire implant fixture. He watched
my face go pale, and started giggling. Wot a joker! (and a really
sweet guy, believe me!)

Yeah, darn it. Even after a negative aspiration.
