medical question for me

i know that i should go to docs but i have a think that i dont like wasting money especially if they say nothing wrong.

anway this is what is happening
last week i got sooooooooooo tired put that down to son waking during night all the time and it caught up with me and im usually tired before my period...well im still tired yes he is still waking but he been doing that for 3 yrs....and by tired i mean...scared to drive cause i drowze......
2 i had sharp stabbing pains near my ear so thought i was having infection...pains have gone down my kneck across chest....ear hasnt gotten anyworse and i have been putting drops in it.

thought i was getting cold but im sure if i was then something would have happend...last week i did start loosing voice but no saw throat or runny noise

for two days my teeth on one side are saw...if you have had braces its like that.......and only on one side.....which is major weird and sooo annoying

anyone have a clue...?i am thinking iron levels so should ask for a test...but the teeth thing that is a new one

Healthline would be your best bet for some free advice. Have you tried them?

I thought of a sinus infection too. I got one after a really painful plane descent and it was sore! GO and get it checked out - yoiu might need to go on anti-bs and possibly even steroids to get it sorted.

I would go to the Dr, & get some tests done.

If you are too tired to drive then there is a problem. You may need more iron or it maybe an infection...your system could be run down....it could be a million things.

But the one thing I do know is...it is hard work looking after kids when you are not 100%...so spend a few $$ at the Dr even if it is just for piece of mind.

Call healthline, they're pretty nice and will listen to you without telling you to harden up

Feel better soon. And look after yourself!

Not sure about the tiredness but I got sharp stabbing pains near my ears and sore teeth when I had an infection in my wisdom teeth. Could be that?

id go with sinus infection so you'll need antibiotics i just had the same thing with the aching teeth on one side although i also have a full blown cold with mine tho but the sore teeth seemed to come first.

Your sinuses run very closely to the nerves in your jaw, which is why you get sore teeth from a sinus infection....this is what I got told last time I had a sinus infection, and the teethache to go with it anyway!!

I get sore teeth and jaw when I grind my teeth at night, the pain can go down my neck and in my ear too. I would go to the Dr and get it checked as it could be so many different things!

Ruling out infection, a stabbing/pricking pain sensation is usually associated with a muscular problem. There are sets of muscles that are somewhat interconnected from the head, neck & chest areas, which would explain what you have experienced starting from your ear. This could also explain the discomfort on your teeth (especially if its also on the same affected side) as the nerve (that is located near the ear & providing sensations to your jaw) is now affected. If I combine these with your lack of proper sleep, I suspect that the main culprit is the muscular tension due to improper body positioning when you try to get comfortable to doze off easily. Try placing some warm packs, gentle massage to the affected areas (try applying some Voltaren Gel to complement the massage) & take some TRUE pain relievers (by that I don't mean the miracle drug called Paracetamol) over the counter (eg. Nurofen) or by prescription (eg. Diclofenac/Voltaren tabs). If you want to have cheaper consultation fees, enrol in a PHO-accredited practice since they are Government-subsidised. Hope these help.
