nerve damage?

[Guest guest]

I hope someone can ease my mind. About 10 days post op I got a

sharp tingling feeling in my bottom lip. I knew I was going to have

all these wierd feelings so I thought that it was the nerve

healing. After about a week I finally started to poke around there

and discovered that the pain shot from my stitch. So I tried to cut

the stitch but it was too close to the gumline. I was going to go

in and have the stitch removed but I ended up with a sick child and

never went. It finally fell out on its own. BUT the pain is still

there. I would not have a problem with this except it is pulling my

lip down. When I smile that lower left side of my lip is pulled

down resulting in a crooked smile. Gee if it's not my crooked

teeth, it's my crooked smile. Any way, is this going to go away or

are they going to have to cut me open again to fix this?

--- I have alot of teeth throbbing, tingling, shooting shock-type

pains, gums aching. I was told by my OS that this is normal

secondary to the nerve trying to recover. He states its different

for everyone on severity and duration. And no treatment just has to

recover on its own. If it was from a stitch maybe the area got

irritated? Is it infected? I probably have your OS check it out.

Good luck,
