Question 1

is it healthy to leave a dead/root canaled tooth in your mouth for life? if any other dying tissue is removed from body? why not dead teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A tooth that has had a root canal has had all of the necrotic tissue removed and the canal is cleaned and sealed. In most cases, this will prevent any further bacteria from reinfecting the tooth. It is very important to have a permanent restoration on the tooth after a root canal to prevent recurring decay and seal the tooth at the access opening as well. This may be a crown or filling.

Question 2

my looks have changed so much they think i'm on drugs organs and tissues are missing i believe i contacted septic shock from untreated pid that i complained er about constant pain had high fever 1 yr ago dying?

Accepted Answer

: Do others agree your looks have changed significantly? Have a thorough medical assessment by a specialist in internal medicine. If no definite pathology is found, I assume your pelvic issues are resolved.  I believe you'll be reassured greatly. If not consult a psychologist to fully understand what's bothering you about your looks especially if others don't see major changes in you.

Question 3

what is tissue diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Pathology: A "mass" can be anything including non-cancer. A piece of tissue from a mass (or bone marrow biopsy, or blood) placed on a glass slide for a pathologist to review with special stains and sometimes molecular tests can give a "tissue diagnosis".  With very few exceptions (eg, hcc, germ cell cancer) oncologists require a "tissue diagnosis" before treating cancer.

Question 4

how to heal nerve tissues?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Complicated question as nerves can heal with the right energy, and nutrients and appropriate protection and use of the injured area.  Best to discuss specifics with a practitioner.

Question 5

know im dying but weeks or months?

Accepted Answer

Impossible to tell: Nadia, if this is true then we are very sorry.  Only your health care provider could give you an estimate of how much time you have left, and even then it is always an educated guess.  There are organizations called hospice in nearly every city that can help you and your doctor work through this.  Good luck!
