Neil - Re: any oldies had pretty numb tongue 5 months post op?

[Guest guest]

Yeah, at one point my surgeon used a toothpick and ran it up and

down the left side of my tongue. i really could not feel anything. i

am not getting pins and needing per se, but burning, perhaps doing

the same job, i hope, of repair to the sensation. i want my tongue

feeling back so badly. i hope for improvement. thanks for your

feedback. katie
