This is getting old...

My tooth problems still won't end. After finishing up the root canal on Thursday the doctor said I might feel some discomfort for up to 2 weeks. The discomfort I was feeling all weekend was up inside my cheek, most noticeable if I smiled and moved my cheek. I just thought it was sore from where they gave me a shot of Novocaine, but Sunday I ran my finger upside my cheek and just there along the gum line (above the tooth that just had the root canal) is a bump that is painful to touch. It had not gone away by yesterday, so I called and left a message at the endodontist's office, describing what was going on. The receptionist called back and said the doctor would call me last night to discuss it. So, I'm thinking - ok- maybe it's not that serious, just something that will go away after the irritation of all the root canal dies down, otherwise they would have just scheduled me to come back. But, after dentist calls and I tell her the exact same thing I said in the message I left, she says I need to come in and she'll have her receptionist call me the next day. Well, duh! It's probably still infected or re-infected or something! Why didn't they just schedule me to come back in the first place? Good grief.  I just made an appointment for a couple of hours from now, so keep your fingers crossed for me it's an easy fix (haha, ya right)
