Where do I start?? Well, I had a serious tongue problem going on with me. I went to my doctor that gave me this "Magic Mouthwash" that didn't work for me at all.
Diagnosis:
Well, I had what was called thrush. With thrush your tongue will swell and when you try to eat your tongue will burn so awful that you can't, eat. Even ice cream couldn't put that fire out. Your tongue will stay in pain and will burn. It will wake you up in the middle of the night with agony. Then you find yourself taking double the amounts of Tylenol than you're supposed to take.
Dr Visit:
I went back to my doctor office and come to find out my tongue has swelled 3 times more. Then they referred me to a specialist. This is the guy that handled me from that point. I did get some hydrocodone and everything I needed for the pain that helped me out a lot.
The Specialist:
I went there and my pain came to an end. I'm sorry I didn't take any photos, I wasn't in the right frame of mind. This guy looked at everything he needed to and probed, which was more damn painful and he issued everything that I needed. He told me that within 3 days I would feel better. Now granted, 3 days is a long time for someone in intense pain. However the pain meds from my other doctor helped me out a lot and allowed me to heal with less pain as possible.
The Specialist Visit:
From the time I got there, I had to sign in of course. Since that was my first visit I didn't have to bother with any paperwork. I had to answer questions on the tablet which didn't take long and paid my fee. From the time I paid my fee they called my name about 3 minutes later!! Yes it was EXTREMELY QUICK!! Now I can't help but to think was it quick that way because that's the way they operate, or was it because my doctor already called him to set up an appointment with me that day. Who knows, but I did love the time factor.
Overall:
If anything ever happens in my mouth again, I'm coming here to this establishment. Yes your PCP can help you with a lot of things, but now I find there's nothing better than going to another specialist who can diagnose everything that you needs it pertains to a certain part of your body.They already know which antibiotics and steroids that are needed to give you quick relief. For any of you who has any mouth pain, go to this place! He'll hook you up!! read more
