I have a lump on my jaw since Jan 06. The dentist couldn't help or the oral surgeon. After 9 different antibiotics I went to an ENT. I had a CAT Scan that showed nothing but my jaw was swollen and my neck and very painful. The ENT performed surgery on June 20, 06. It is now August, the lump is still there and my lips on the left side where the lump is, don't work. I can't pucker or talk or eat or spit or drink right since. The ENT dismissed me telling me to gently massage the area. Lump and pain still there and no movement in the lips. Today ,I went again to my PCP, who is sending me to an oral surgeon. Help!! I want my lips to work and this lump gone. By the way the ENT said it was an abcessed cyst that was entangled and went into my neck. He cut inside my mouth to remove this but it is still there. Massage and ice and heat are not working and I am getting very depressed over the whole thing. I am also diabetic, all the antibiotics caused a whole new set of problems for me. Help! Please! I don't know what else to do! Thanks for any info
