Hi @jennifer0726 😊
Thank you so much letting me know what you were told at Rochester. That's very helpful. Especially the Tylenol with codeine idea.
I had my two root canals done on Wednesday and now one of the teeth has a shooting pain like an electric shock when eating anything ..
even oatmeal or baby food. I just called the endodonist and he told me come over this morning so I am leaving my house in 10 minutes to go to his office. (I will keep you posted on the outcome.)
I have this terrible feeling that an extraction is in my future. I hope I am wrong.
When I called my transplant coordinator, she told me to contact my local nephrologist regarding my Advil, Motrin,
Ibuprofen pain medication question. Do you get that response when you call your transplant nurse with a question? Are you referred to your local PCP or nephrologist for most questions?

Sorry for your pain. I hope your are feeling better very soon. I would recommend calling your Transplant Coordinator first who will check with your Transplant Center Neph. They want to protect your new kidney at all costs, even though the pain is not related to the kidney transplant. The PCP should defer to the Transplant Center. I was also told by the Transplant Center Coordinator/Neph to take an antibiotic 2 hours prior to any dental work The only time I call my PCP is for issues other than transplant related, such as need to rehab PT/OT in home care for scar tissue desensitization as part of the recovery. I am glad that my TC neph is starting to talk more with my PCP which helps too as the PCP was deferring too much to the TC for everything. I was getting the run around. I am hoping my dental work will wait until 6 months after transplant which is May. Take care and rest. Maybe the Tylenol with codeine will help but as the TC. BB
