Mouth sore agony!!

[Terri B]

I don't mean to beat a dead horse talking about my mouth sores, but dang!

I get temporary relief from the "magic mouthwash" and the warm salt water rinses and ibuprofen. But i'm just wondering if anyone else had this kind of pain.

These are on my lower right gum, under the nerve of the tooth. I have already been to the dentist to have x-rays because I thought I had an abcessed tooth! He said my teeth were fine. He did say I had a nasty "ulcer" down there that was probably bothering the nerve of the tooth.

This throbbing is annoying! It is aggravated by trying to eat (anything soft). The pain even goes up inside my ear and down my neck on that side (making me think i have an ear infection)!

I guess i didn't realize that with mouth sores, it was not necessarily an "open" type of soreness, but it's more like achey painful throb! Is this what you guys experienced? Just tell me i'm normal, and i'll quit worrying and whining.
