After the surgery on November 5th, the pain was so much less than I expected, so I
thought, “Oh, I can do it.” Hospitalized for one day and returned home.
But
as time goes by day by day, side effect-like(?) symptoms appear...
1. The left eyebrow does not go up
. 2. When I wrinkle my nose, the left nostril does not go up
. 3. When I smile with my mouth open, my lower lip moves to the right
. Common symptoms include loss of sensation in the jaw, loss of sensation in the left cheekbone, and
pain in the temple. This seems to be a common symptom,
so I'm waiting for the sensation to return.
However, when I open my mouth to talk or smile, my lower lip moves to the right and
only the right side of my chin wrinkles. It's really stressful. …
When I inquired at the hospital, they said it would come back once the swelling in my jaw went down.
It
looks like the swelling is almost all gone.
Have you all returned? It's been about 20 days now...
When will I be back?
I'm worried every day, wondering if I should go to the neurology department at a university hospital to check if there's something wrong with my nerves.
