Yep. It can be done.\nThere are prostheses (artificial replacements) available for the same and u can get them done from either a Prosthodontist or an Oral Surgeon.

I'd check with neurologist.  Back bone - do you mean spine?  Might have a pinched nerve.

well, that they are gone of course. it is probably not a good thing removing them now cause the plate might be (partially) covered with tissue, bone,... .\nso this would mean a lot of damage to your humerus + the surrounding tissue. go to your local doctor and ask, but i dont think that they'll take it out after 21 years...\n\ngood luck

I am not sure.. but our brains are so complexed. don't give up hope there's always a way to fix things.  My best friend was in  horrible car accident a few years back. She had a major head injury she had to learn how to walk,talk, and all the basic stuff and you'd never know it but looking at her now.  \n\nSo if your willing to go the distant it can be done.\n\n\ni'm looking through articles on webmd and looking what i can find.  this is on neuropltics the first link \n\nsecond link to antiphyschotics.

This is a complication that while not common is experienced by all dentist and especially Oral Surgeons in the removal of teeth.  Just make sure to call your dentist and keep him informed.  Especially, when new symptoms arise.  If the nerve is just bruised it will return relatively quickly 2-3 weeks.  If the nerve was damaged a bit more it could take several months.  Just be aware when you are eating hot food to approach from the side that still has sensation so that you don't burn your self.  Avoid chewing gum and anything that might cause you to bite yourself. \n\ngood Luck.\n\nOne more thing, if it starts to feel all prickly like tiny needles poking you that is a good thing thats the nerve repairing itself.

it is painful to have it done but once it heals you will feel so much better than the constant pain you must be in now. and you can buy and wear a much better range of shoes when it done.  good luck.

Hmmm - Yes and no.  My husband had his tendons stitched near his wrist area.  He also had to do therapy to regain strength.  However, there is internal scarring.  He has a nice lump on that spot.  I honestly don't see how it could be unavoidable.  Good Luck to you!!!

I have a brother who is blind. Due to optic nerve damage. From what we have been told. There is nothing medical that can be done. However nerves can, and have been known to rejuvenate on their own.

My honest opinion for you is that it is going to suck for a bit.  You will have discomfort at first usually well controlled with pain medications.  You will also have to be wired shut for a few weeks (usually for about 6 weeks) where you will have to consume mostly a liquid diet.  Afterward, your muscles will be sore and tight. BUT, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!!!!!  I have seen and been part of a few of these cases and actually had a friend who had it done about a year ago and everyone that I have asked, would do it again in a heartbeat!  Hope that this proves helpful, good luck with it!

its a nerve but see a doctor specializing in nerves or skin to be sure.

I have several "replacement" parts in my body from an auto accident.  The metal they use is usually titanium or stainless; with other plastic parts.  I can tell you the only problems I've had with the implants and plates is when the weather gets cold or I'm over-active. The ache. Otherwise,  They feel like the real thing.  I'm sure he will be just fine; but he will be in pain for a little while.  God bless and tell him good luck for me.

Not a lady, and never had plates inserted, but I have had an ankle injury that lingered for months. About 10 years ago, I twisted my ankle while running in dress shoes to my commuter bus for work. It wasn't broken; just a bad sprain. However, I found out that a sprain can be worse than a break. It literally hurt me for five months. I couldn't put full weight on it and was limping around the entire time before the pain went completely away. In high school, I had a similar type of ankle sprain from playing football, and again it took a few months before it completely went away. \n\nUnfortunately, ankles are very delicate and heal very slowly because we are constantly putting weight on them. They do get better, eventually, but it's agonizing going through it. Not sure if the discomfort of the plates/screws will ever go away. But tell your friend to hang in there, and do the treatments and therapy as the doctors have prescribed, which should help significantly.

Nerve damage, which is what it sounds like, is a very slow healer, at approximately 1/4" per year.  This means that the pain is probably not going to go away and or scar tissue may have developed and have it pinched, which is why you can move it and it pop or relieve pressure temporarily.  It may also have developed a neuroma, a bubble on the nerve, that has to be surgically removed, but I do not recommend this as it is usually a temporary fix, and had the choice to do it over, would not elect to do so, the pain actually became worse not better.  I'm sorry for the pain suffering, I live in chronic pain and it is very frustrating that we have so medical advancement, and yet so little for chronic pain.

Ask them to apply some numb spray before you get pierced. That makes it painless.

Yep.  Nerves go all the way from your fingers up through your whole arm.  You probably did something funny to the nerve.  I'd see a doctor if it's not better in a couple of days.

This is one project you need to take off of your own to do list. Get to a doctor. You need Xrays and a professionally placed cast.
