Facial Numbness after Wisdom Teeth Removal. May have made it worse

[omarr001]

I had all four wisdom teeth pulled out 10 days ago.I experienced numbness in my chin on the right, it was getting better tinging, burning and throbing, slowly reducing. Three days ago I was rubbing my right jaw due to stiffness . there was a sharp pain that shot to my chin,  the numbness came back fully in my chin and lip and has not started to reduce yet I feel some burning in the lip ,but no tingling. I'm scared now, did I slow down the healing process or did I caused irreversable damage to myself . Can I damage the nerve from the outside? I'm scheduled go back for a check up in two week to see if theres any progress.

My chin lip and bottom teeth are still numb almost four weeks later. It must be due to nerve damage which they warn you about before so they are not to blame as I know they had done their best. I have read it take a few months or more to recover and heal from being bruised

Seeing a neurologist is advised.
