Hi everyone not been n here for a while, I’m just waiting still after two years to get my implants and reconstruction after my surgery for jaw. Cancer, I still have my peg in my tummy can not eat pureedp food and fresibin protein drinks through peg,but I’m doing ok,
i had a lot f pain in my surgery site so surgeon and Norfolk and Norwich hospital X-rays the area apparently my joint n my jaw are worn right side and left side was shaved down for the metal plate which was taken out after three days as my body rejected it so I’m assuming that’s what causes the aching, however my mouth swells on left side a lot inside and I find it hard to talk some days, no idea what’s causing it but I ave told dental surgeon, he seems less interested in that but it’s very uncomfortable. I keep my face covered in the cold weather and mouth with a pull n hat much like the old balaclava, any ideas what it could be or has anyone had this ?
Lvely to chat to you all again love tia x
