I was diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis in my lower jaw bone almost 4 years ago. I ve had 9 surgerys to cut away the dead bone & try and close the hole. Even when they do within weeks it opens back up.I am in extrem pain all day long! I ve had a picc line 3 times and when I m not on that I take oral antibiotics 3 times a day! They had to remove all my teeth and due to the surgery I m some what disfigured already. I m only 39 years old, do not do drugs or drink and am other wise in OK condition. I m so beyond over not knowing what to do next! My oral sugen said he d have to remove my entire lower jaw bone & place some steel piece there then 8 months later so in & take a piece of my hip bone & try and reform me another jaw bone. He said I m at a extremely high risk for post surgical infections also. He said I d have 2 very pronounced scars on either side of my face & would never be able to get dentures. I am at my witts end with it! I d do anything to make the pain go away but I m already seen as a freak and don t think I could handle being that deformed! I m begging for any other options out there for me, any suggestions anything cause day by day I m loosing hope. Please help
