What should I do to make sure this my problem is not related to any nerve problem? I took Gabapentin for few weeks and It didn't help me much. I feel like my lips are like thick rubber. Is it related to any nerve problem. Please let me know.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks for taking time to respond to me! One of the doctors I saw told me to try compression therapy. I have been doing that last couple of days with a paper clipper. Now my outward lower lip is kind of thickened but feels little better and I cannot do that when I am out of my home. Please let me know is this a good idea and is there anything else I can apply on my lips along with compression.
Hi there!
Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult o determine the cause of your symptoms. Swollen lips could result from infections, inflammations, allergies, a few autoimmune conditions, growths/ masses etc. Since the biopsy was negative for malignant cells/ granulomas; this is likely to be due to chronic inflammatory causes. It would be best to have this evaluated by an internist or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
