I have this also but in my lower lip mostly. The chin doesnt bother me as much. I have a burning lower lip when I eat or talk. I am 13 months post op 6mm lower jaw advancement. The only thing so far to stop the tightness or help it was baclofen. I may even have to get a neurectomy to stop the burnin...

Wondering if Smurfy comes on here and How she is doing now ? This is an old post but my issue sounds a lot like hers with lower lip?

Not sure if this link will work but this Facebook page has a lot of people with condylar issues that are getting the joint replaced. Not sure if that is the same but it may have more information then arch wired.

Yes I started with fish then ground beef pattie then chicken and lastly steak. Its very easy to hurt your jaw when switching to harder foods so take it slow and be careful. I ate smashed spaghetti Os a lot when I was hungry but could not have meats yet.

A lot of people say this is the case but my lower lip and chin where numb and I don't think it would effect kissing because it only the outside skin. once it moves in towards the lip area that a cup would sit you wouldnt be numb and the inside of the mouth is not numb. So Im pretty sure people use m...

Yes it does. This worked for me and the surgeon said that was a way for me to see what to expect.

Yes I am going to wait for sure, but if this doesnt get better Im trying to decide if it would be better to be totally numb or have the altered sensations that are bothering me. I just started taking nortripline (sp) but I think the meds just cover this up and I probably should have been on it by no...

Feeling hopeless at 7 months my lower lip is still constantly ( except when sleeping) in nerve pain. I don't know how to describe it other the feeling extremely stiff and it stings when I apply lip stick or gloss and when eating or excersising. I doubt anyone on here has had the procedure but the OS...

Yes I had this problem for about a month or more. Im not 11.5 week po. Its from your numbness. when you swish inside your mouth you can't feel it so it just goes everywhere. I knew i regain some feeling when I could finally keep the water in my mouth.

Hi CandyApple, last year I had significant nerve trauma while having my wisdom teeth out. What you are describing is exactly what I was feeling. It took about 4 months or so for the icy cold feeling to start going away, but even a year later, if my bottom lip was touched, it sent little shocks stra...

Thanks for the reply Jamie.. going on 10 weeks now still burning and lower lip feels like an ice cube at time. I can't smile because it feels so cold and tight. Im getting shooting pains also. I don't know what could be going on. I did have an infection in the bone graft part of my surgery that was ...

So it's been eight weeks. I still can't put on lipstick eat different kinds of food or talk for very long without my lip and chin burning. Some of the areas on one side seem to be a little bit less abnormal to touch but that's about the only change toward normal to this point. I could deal with numb...

Congratulations little bird for making it through sounds like you had a tough surgery, but you will feel better after that dreaded first week or so is over. Welcome to the done side!

Was your BSSO forward or backwards.? Mine was forward but I did have a lot of swelling which made my smile almost disappear like it was somewhat going backwards after about two weeks the muscles and the swelling started to loosen up and my smile started to come out and look wider. If you had it goin...

How are things going you should be around 4 weeks now?
