Terrible headaches, muscle pain in my face and back, and feeling of numbness in different areas of my body. recently had an dental implant. any ideas?

Unrelated to Implant: Implants are generally very safe...Your symptoms may be related to other physical ailment. See an md asap to help : ).

Pain: Go back to the dentist who placed the implant to rule out any pressure on a nerve also jaw pain can be related to tmjoint problems make sure there are no cavities or gum problems all can contribute to facial pain.

Yes, see MD!: It's doubtful that any of your symptoms are related to the recent dental implant, unless the symptoms started immediately after the surgery. I strongly recommend that you see your physician asap for an evaluation. Those symptoms warrant further investigation.

Implant issues?: Other than the muscle pain in the face and back from a long chairside procedure, none of the complaints--particularly numbness in different areas of the body--is related to a dental implant. If headaches are new, implant or not, they should be evaluated for organic (ie medical, not dental) causes. "allergies" and many other "side effects" ascribed to implants found on the web are just unheard of.

Ideas.....: If the dental implant is restored with a tooth the bite on it may be off. I would have this evaluated by your dentist. Moreover something else may be going on. Something which may be totally separate from the recent implant. I would share your concerns with the surgeon who placed the implant. That person knows more about you than any of us. Good luck!

Other issues: It is unlikely that a dental implant procedure can cause all of these symptoms. The headaches, back pain and numbness of different areas of the body are due to other issues. See your family md for an examination.
