Re: Bad chin and lip burning!

[Guest guest]

Blake,

I know how you feel. My upper lip has had that burning feel for a

couple of days now. I had upper surgery Oct 12. Is your upper lip

and nose numb too? My whole mid face is numb since having surgery. I

do know the burning sensation is a good sign. It means the nerves

are regenerating. But like you I too would like to know how long it

lasts. Take care.

Blake, a lot of us have been there. it is one of the most annoying

feelings to pass through post surgery. i am almost 4 months post and

it took a really long time for that feeling to go away. when it was

super annoying i did use tylenol. I remember writing on this board

that for weeks after the surgery, when i went to the beach (June

surgery, i live on Cape Cod), i at times would have to leave because

the wind hurt my face, particularly the chin and lip that was

tingling and burning. it's simply SUPER sensitive and i can't

guarantee it, but will most likely improve. Hang in there.

Don't worry Blake it will go away. I used Benedryl for any of the

burning, itching, bugs on the face feelings and it helped a lot

especially at night.

Hmm.. my lower left lip/chin are still numb, but I don't have any

burning or super sensitive sensation. Should I be worried? Does

everyone have that?
