Man, just last saturday I thought things were finally rounding out and shaping up and finallly turning a corner for good .
Jaw was feeling better , lip wasnt tight at all , chin area wasnt painful to the touch or tight , but now as I write this it seems as if everything is back. Just hit the 6 month mark so time is running out and this current regression might be too much for me to handle .
There is no reason for my nerve to slowly get better over the last so many months and now all those gains seem lost .Tell me how that makes any sense , Im not sure if I can live like this as the quality of life and the way the nerve gives hope then regresses as time is running out is becoming a deadly combination.
Thoughts have really been running through my mind big time. What a monumental letdown btw that no one comes here to report any positive feed back anymore .
I have an appointment wednesday for some kind of electro accupuncture , anyone know of or had success with that .
Well was just given the 6 month death sentence by a oral surgeon as far as my ian nerve damage. Im 5 months into it and still feel tension and weirdness in lip and chin .
Guess the only thing I can do is hang on to hope coming from a few of the ppl here who reported improvements after 6 months .
The pressure of getting better really weighs on the heart and mind , wish I really felt like I was going to continue to improve
Well looks like this thread is pretty much over
No one coming on to give positive updates or support
Hi All, I'm so glad to find this forum. Wish I had done some research before choosing to extract my right impacted wisdom tooth. I got my lower right impacted wisdom tooth extracted along with the top fully erupted wisdom tooth (which grew sideways). No issues with the top one. My chin went numb on the right from outside and teeth on the right feel tight feeling pressure especially on the lower canine tooth. The oral surgeon warned me about this and got a wavier signed for the same. I had a same set of teeth removed on the left side due to an infection 8 years ( happened during pregnancy) with no issues and textbook recovery. This time its not the same, with this numbness. I really had no issue with the right one.. but just removed it out caution as every dentist that I have seen advised me to get it extracted. I still remember the pain from infection, thought taking care of this would end being very cautious and the constant fear of if it would infected.
The oral surgeon has said that the tooth was very long and it was kind hooked to the nerve. Said the nerve may be irritated and the numbness would go away slowly.
Is there any hope?? Really looking for positive stories.
I am not sure if I am pleased or saddened to have come by this forum. Its only been 4 days since I had a rear right molar (the furthest at the back) removed, which I am guessing is a wisdom tooth. After reading these very useful posts and knowing my own body I am pretty sure I am in for the long haul. No feeling in the lower right quarter of my face as well as bottom teeth feeling tight and pressured. Gutted!! But my Mum always said a problem shared is a problem halved. My fingers are crossed for everyone experiencing this depressing feeling however at the end of the day we are only experiencing loss of feeling to a small part of our very good working bodies. I guess my satisfaction is that one of the most depressing things I am dealing with is respectfully very minor in comparison to what else could go wrong in life. #stayblessed
