Suggest Treatment For Infection In The Jaw
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
You mention a few things here. You say the "frontal lobe of your skull is separating." You also say you have noticed an indentation on the top of your skull getting bigger, and you notice some indentations as well. You ask what is the most likely explanation.
The human skull reaches maturity around age 18, and the shape does not change naturally after that time. Any changes would require surgery or physical trauma. Another explanation is that you are noticing these things for the first time not because they are new, but because you are anxious about them. Let me reassure you that nothing here is dangerous -- minimal bone atrophy with age is normal and should not be any cause for concern. If your X-ray was normal, there is nothing to worry about.

You know I am also beginning to wonder if some of my problems could be from all the physciatric drugs I have been given over the years.... just a thought.
However.. I will agree that I think half my problem is stress related On my neuro phycological test results my doctor stated I developed PTSD and my Anxiety Level was through the roof and that the primary cause was the fact my QUOTE UN QUOTE... My extreme crys for help were being ignored.

If you are concerned about progressive age-related bone changes, the definitive way to confirm that would be to obtain an MRI of the head. If this is normal, I recommend beginning psychotherapy, a highly effective non-medication treatment, for stress.
