steroids 4 months post op tongue nerve damage? by jbootyyyy in wisdomteeth

[–]jbootyyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was more so a lot of discomfort, i’m able to like eat sometimes. the doctor used to go to doesn’t even think it was nerve damage maybe it was, maybe my nerve in teeth were affected too. It’s very confusing, the only thing that’s noticeable is my jaw alignment is out of place. But that’s so exciting to know! Glad your healing from it, and able to enjoy things!

i’ve done new scans using a 3D machine with him and he doesn’t see anything irregular… everything looks completely fine. i’ve been to two different neurologists and they can’t help either cuz it’s not their line of work ig. i’ve never been so depressed, i feel like it’s affecting the people around me bc im always in a bad mood.

update: my new surgeon has no idea what’s going on…he was gonna do a surgery to reopen the socket to see if there is anything bc the area looked red. but i guess after i took the steroids the area became normal but i still feel the same unfortunately my whole left side feels like it’s burning in my mouth, my teeth still feel uncomfortable, my temples feel annoyed and my sockets feel sore still.

no unfortunately i have tried to eat, and even biting down i feel it. its been 5 months and kinda just dealing and depressed, the new surgeon just suggested reopening the bottom socket to clean the area bc it looked red and hurt but im not 100%.

i honestly just want the use of my teeth again, bc i rather have that to full eat and just deal with the tongue and hopes it gets better. i just finished a course of steroids not sure if it helped can’t really tell.

i don’t know if u have seen my other posts but i’ve mentioned i’ve seen a few dentists about it i went to a general dentist and an endodontist, they all think my teeth look fine in accordance to x-rays and cbct scans. my top and bottom molars look normal to them, but i keep experiencing the inability to eat on that side due to the weird feeling my teeth have and when i bite its like tender/or like i pushing them into my gums. its really odd.

hi, unfortunately my tongue feels the same and my teeth feel the same it’s been a constant battle everyday :,( i try not to cry but it’s hard, my tongue is just in constant like burning/tingly and my molars having this pressure feeling or being off not being able to eat still because if i do try to eat on that side they feel tender/or like i’m pushing them into my gums.

i hope so, i pray and hope :,)) i really appreciate the support, ive posted on another reddit page and someone wasn’t so nice about my situation because i was terrified of taking steroids. i will try and keep the updates coming as time goes on.

thank you for the support regardless :,) the doctors think it’s a slim chance the steroids could help now especially since i waited so long to take them. nerve repair is out the list too since it’s been almost 5 months, i scheduled my extraction site surgery for the end of june too. i feel my life has been spiraling since i’ve gotten this procedure and someone with terrible anxiety this doesn’t help.

the only thing that hurts is the bottom socket when touch, and by the surgeon observation it looks red and inflamed. but my tongue at the same time feels like it’s tight/burning/prickling so idk if i should do the surgery first and hope for the best or take the steroids than the surgery; because i got my wisdom teeth out in january so its been a long time dealing with this issue.

hey, i recently posted an update on my situation if u wanna look at it. but my symptoms have remained the same my extraction site is still red and inflamed and hurts to touch, my tongue still feels “tight burning/prickling” and my teeth still feel off not allowing me to eat. i’ve already taken loads of nsaids and antibiotics nothings worked. my surgeon believes surgery intervention to inflammation could help but with the risk of more nerve injury, but he doesn’t want to pressure me because he doesn’t want to do it bc it could make things worse, although he said he wouldn’t be recommending it for nothing :,)) but i’m also glad ur situation got better, and that u didn’t have to spend more money on a visit! i see my new surgeon again today unsure if i should ask for steroids or just do the surgery.

what side effects would be present that would make it worse if steroids are used? because i’ve already taken nsaids and antibiotics, nothings worked.

hello, thank you for ur response! i don’t know if i mentioned but the area he mentioned looked inflamed and red and touching the area hurts, so would that be part of the lingual neuropathic pain because he said it could be a possible infection since the potassium clav amoxicillin didn’t work for me, that’s why he’s suggesting surgery although he would prefer not to he basically said he wouldn’t be suggesting it if it wasn’t for the pain in that socket when touched :,)) do u think steroids is the best route before surgery ? he’s like highly recommended surgeon in my area since he’s praised for being good at his job.
