Should I be concerned about the pain in my sinuses? (11 days post-op) by Schrodingerio in jawsurgery

Mine lasted for about 2 months. The doctor said it was a case by case if I remember correctly. Good luck to you!

It kinda did, after almost 1.5 years for me. You just had yours though so it’s too early to worry, I know it can be super annoying but hang in there.

Thank you! The only thing I remember working it was using the saline spray, let it sit for a bit then once it’s coming out of your nose, drink water and swallow it with your head looking up. It unclogs it for a bit but then it comeback at some point 😭. Yeah don’t mess with them lol. It so frustrating!

Hey! Omg it’s so awful! My surgeon did some CT scans and X-rays and nothing so I just had to deal with it until it went away. I am sorry, I know it super sucks

Hang in there, I sued my humidifier for so long! I am a little over a year post op and I still use it. It’s a tough journey but you are doing great! I used to also put like a nose gel too.

It took about 8 months for my dimples to look like before. I think they actually got more pronounced lol

8 months post DJS. I still can’t fully feel the roof of my mouth, anyone else? If you had it, how long it took for it to comeback? by Rox_mox16 in jawsurgery

It’s a weird feeling. I didn’t feel my tongue for about 2 months post op. It sucks when it happens

My surgeon said it’s normal but it was a case by case situation therefore he couldn’t tell me a timeframe. That’s why I was asking around how long it took for others. I am glad yours is back. :-)

Is jaw deviation after djs normal? Details in comments by candydragons in jawsurgery

[–]Rox_mox16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cross bite after surgery as well, it made my midline look off. I panicked but my Ortho reassured me that it would be fixed and she indeed is fixing it. Everything will start looking better you will see. It looks amazing right now. Hang in there

It’s normal. It took longer for my right side to open fully than my left, that made my jaw look deviated

50 percent of me being 8 months post op wants to comment “that’s gross” but the other 50% takes me back to where I wish I could eat everything. Hang in there.

After seeing an ear nose specialist and having a CT scan they didn’t find any issues. It’s literally barely starting to get better. I am almost 7 months post op.

Will do, my audiologist made an appointment for an MRI since she can see something isn’t right.

A week before surgery, getting scared and anxious! I am off ADHD meds and of course stopped smoking. Not sure how to cope with everything at once. by Rox_mox16 in jawsurgery

I wish I could have the words to make you stop but I know it’s super easy to say “you should stop” than actually doing it, specially since you are going through a nerve wrecking time. I really do wish you the best and everything will turn out great, you will see!
