Dear FB Family (especially those affiliated with Kaiser),
Over the past few months, my mom has been hiding the fact that she's been in tremendous pain around her mouth/face area... so much that she hasn't been able to eat.
Her primary doctor at Kaiser suggested that it might have something to do with her teeth, so she went to a dentist, who found no problems. Then she went to an oral surgeon, who found no problems. Then it was concluded that it may be due to trauma or nerve damage. Does anyone out there know of anyone in Kaiser's Neurology Dept. who can help?
She was finally given a referral for a neuro specialist, but if there's any way to speed up the process, or make sure that she's seeing a good doctor, I'd appreciate the help. I just don't want her to be in pain more than she has to.
Thanks everyone for listening!
