Anybody had their jaw broken?
I'll set the stage:
A couple years ago I walked outside a party and found a friend being jumped by a number of guys, i ran over got into it, and while in the middle of the hooplah, one of the shit heads came behind me and whacked me upside the jaw with a baseball bat. It shattered my entire right side and split the jaw in half down the middle.
Got the surgery done by this incompetent doctor who missaligned my jaw. By the time the wires were removed and the missalignment was discovered, the jaw was healed and it was too late.
Well, now my jaw is in excalating, emmense pain on the left side. I cant even chew on my right side(feels like the left is coming unhinged). I believe it to be from overcompensation.
Have any of you experienced this, and if so what was your course of action for getting it corrected. I would like to avoid surgery again for obvious reasons, even with insurance the last surgery cost me $800.
Sueing the surgeon is being considered, but thats a diff. story.
