Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Bob, My OS said today that as you start getting your feeling back, you might experience pain in the chin area - hopefully that's what you're feeling. But check with your doc to make sure. It could be that you're getting more blood flow to your nerves as you move your jaw more, and they're firing back.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Bob, During week 2-3 my chin was really hurting. Especially at night and when I woke in the morning. One night I actually dreamed I fell and scraped it and woke up and it felt like it was on fire from the inside out. I assumed it was nerves coming back or repairing or whatever. Let me know what your dr says. I have full feeling in the left side of my chinnow at 4 weeks and the right side tingles (not nearly as bad as before though).
