What are the medical treatment goals and how do we reach these goals?
!. First shared the symptoms we noted in the previous log on the phone with the Neurologist's nurse. l told her about the pictures I had of what I thought was the problem. The nurse asked me to send the pictures like the one above to Chloe's neurologist
2. Received a call back the next day referring Chloe to a Jaw specialiist dealing with TMJ pain issues. To evaluate why Chloe jaw moves to the left like that and why can't she open her mouth very wide. After the evaluation and treatment to either stabilize or fix the problem with the possiblity of surgery to fix the jaw
3. Hopefully at this level she can open her mouth and get the 5 teeth removed by an oral surgeon with the possiblity of surgery here too,.
4. This all starts July 1, 2015 when our insurance change.
5. The pain is some what controlled by the muscle relaxer and antinflamatory medication and topical pain relief. Trying to get people to understand Chloe acts out because of pain or fear of the situation might make her feel pain. People give me a blank stare like they can not see how the two are related.
6. Symptoms of PTSD from Mayo Clinic website.
