Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hey everyone, I'm 20 days post op today, and this weekend I've started to have a lot of twinges starting in my face. Especially around my lips, chin and a bit in my cheek area too. It's like tiny little 'shocks', not painful. It feels a little like a tiny butterfly under my skin flapping it's wings! That's as close to a description as I can think of. I still have some swelling left, which of course means I still have that pressure feeling in my face. Kinda feels like I have a vice-grip around my cheek and jaw area, although it's much better than it's been. That pressure feeling has been driving me crazy because it gives me sinus headaches, plus it feels like a constant ear-ache in both ears, including right under my ears in the upper neck area. I did find something that temporarily takes away the discomfort though. I've been trying different pain gels and creams in the area's that hurt so much and have found that Aspercream helps a lot as does Mineral Ice. Has anyone else ever tried anything topical for that uncomfortable/painful feeling in the face and neck area? Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
