Re: not coping

Hmmm @outlander ... those symptoms sound soooo familiar. 😔 I get most of that from my back injury which resulted in permanent nerve damage. And now all the same things from my surgery. Hoping some of the damage from my surgery is only temporary.

Sometimes however, nerves can take years to repair. How long has it been since your dental surgery?

Re: not coping

I hope its only temporary too @Emelia8 one damaged nerve is enough!

Its been over a year now. It actually feels worse the past few weeks for some reason. Symptoms are alittle more worse and they arent responding to like heat and ice packs like before

Re: not coping

There are meds you can take to help reduce nerve pain @outlander . I have one which I use on an as-needed basis. Usually for several weeks at a stretch, when my pain gets particularly bad. It doesnt take it all away, but does help. Could be worth asking your GP.
