Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi Sara, That's probably it, though it was more sore all the way inside, in the crack between my gum and the inside of my cheek. The OS swabbed my lip w/ vaseline, but it only worked for so long. It's healed, just waiting for the last of my stitches to fall out. Eeewwww, white stringy stuff! Did you have a chance to check out my new pic? How was the MLD? I asked a friend who's into massage, natural remedies etc. to see if she knows anything about that. ~Joanne > Joanne, > > The sore might be from the doctors keeping your lips open for so > long while they took the wisdom teeth out.
