Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hi everyone Time for my update. I am still having a great deal for pain with my numb tongue. I Saw a new Dr yesterday. Orofacial pain specialist, this is the only clinic of it's kind in the world. This is great for me. We had a 2 hour appt. He has put me on another nerve blocker and I am to rinse with lidocaine 4 times a day. The fun thing about this is it makes everything numb that isn't numb already. It does nothing for my tongue pain. He was very honest and said that this is just going to have to be keep trying things until maybe something works. It's a pretty good bet I'm going to be in a medical book at some point. My very good new is that my surgery wire is gone, I have anormal wire on now and the OD said next month the fine tuning and in Aug the braces will come off. I cried, and had all the gals in theoffice crying for me. The OD said we could keep them on longer if it makes me that sad. Oh he's a funny guy. My teeth are perfect and that makes me very happy,having said that it's hard to be happy when I'm having so much pain. My best to all of you.
