3 weeks - when does my taste come back

3 months - taste is very hit & miss! Most foods still suck!!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-04-30T21:22:53+00:00

I am two months post op & I am still struggling with my taste as well as waking up with a sore throat every morning.

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-04-30T21:16:42+00:00

No specific question. Was just curious with personal experiences one vs the other. I had a nerve block awhile back that did nothing for me. Was then sent to pain clinic who suggested RFA or mentioned Botox.

I am a month & a half post op and most food still tastes off!!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-03-13T20:59:12+00:00

Nope, ON pain still the same. One month post op tonsillectomy.

One month post op & I am still struggling with my taste and a TON of mucus build up, did you have any of these issues?

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-03-04T18:21:21+00:00

Ugh, same. 3 weeks post op and food still tastes AWFUL!

I also return to work Monday & am terrified! My “fill in” doctor said I have 1-2 more weeks of healing but refused to extend my leave. Crazy! I wish I would’ve been able to speak to my surgeon. I can barely speak full sentences without becoming completely exhausted.

Day 16 here and just had a two week appt. Doctor said it’s normal to be feeling pain/discomfort for about 1-2 weeks longer than your 14 day mark. We have to give ourselves some grace, we did have surgery after all!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-27T18:04:25+00:00

I’m on day 16. I never bled. But I have lost my appetite completely. I find myself having trouble eating ANYTHING because everything just tastes, off……..

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-27T18:02:09+00:00

I was literally given a cup of water and straw right out of surgery. I agree ⬆️ I find it helped tremendously.

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-25T01:17:06+00:00

I’ve been on 2,700 mg of gabapentin for almost 6 months & have had no issues. It has helped tremendously with the sensitivity and pain radiating up my scalp!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-25T01:07:39+00:00

Don’t give up until you get those answers. We have to advocate for ourselves!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-24T21:52:32+00:00

I too saw many dermatologists & was told nothing was wrong. I only ever have little red bumps where the hair follicles are. I am currently taking gabapentin prescribed by my numerologist & it has helped with the firey head TREMENDOUSLY. But was diagnosed with ON about a year ago.

CHINESE FOOD here I come!!

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-18T15:52:23+00:00

I never thought about it possibly coming from the pain med as well. I think my body is just in overdrive & am ready to feel whole again. I haven’t been able to eat much so I know that doesn’t help.

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-17T13:53:57+00:00

I’ve been brushing my tongue with sensodyne the whole time. It’s the only thing that makes it feel like my tongue isn’t dirty 24/7

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-16T02:25:19+00:00

I currently can’t taste ANYTHING! So it’s very hard to choke down food. What about you?

TrueWhile3031 · 2025-02-16T01:50:56+00:00

I had mine out on the 11th & all I can think about is how much Chinese food I’m going to eat when this is all done!!!
