3. I know you don't have money, but can you get any kind of public assistance for your legal needs or a 2nd opinion?

...or find an attorney who will take your case on contingency? I have no idea if your injury is caused by deliberate violence, medical malpractice, or an accident, but I know that taking yourself out is not the answer. You can call the suicide hotline by calling or texting 988. Please stay in touch with us.

I've been dealing with the injury since August and it seems to be getting worse. Every lawyer I talk to says these cases are almost impossible. He'll just say he used standard of care to reapply that caused the push. I even got a dental lawyer.

There is no financial anything. The dental lawyer told me pay out of pocket but their prob rich. I have a priest coming out in case I die so I'll be squared away. All i wanted was to fix my jaw and it was going well and i was willing to pay for it. Then this. I saw an ent and will be seeing a neurologist. I have no idea what the md is going to say. Ty for responding. Ppl here are wonderful

look at nature but do not even contemplate "taking yourself out"; that is not the answer.

The problem with a lawsuit is that it's very difficult to get doctors/dentists to testify against each other. There are experts who do nothing but testify in cases like these, but they are very expensive, and you will put your expert before the jury (who the jury will be told is being paid to testify), and then the defense will put two doctors/dentists on to rebut everything your expert just told the jury.

If I were in your shoes, at least for the time being, I would focus exclusively on my own health and peace of mind. Maybe investigate some forums where people suffering with headaches, TMJ, or facial or dental injuries are sharing their experiences, treatments, outcomes, or other ways they have helped themselves overcome the injuries. I always start with Reddit, which has an undeserved negative reputation. I've gotten helpful advice there, or at least enough information to push me in the right direction. You might discover something crucial that you didn't know about your condition that helps in your understanding of exactly what happened, right down to the muscles and nerves affected. Then you can begin to form a plan of what to do about it.

Lastly, some things just go away. I thought for a time I would never be able to raise my left arm upwards again due to a weight-lifting injury, and it took more than a year, but it did go away. Same for a wrist injury, two foot issues. Please don't give up. The human body is very strange, but it has great intelligence. It wants to get better as badly as we want it to get better.

Keep us posted.
