did this ever happen to you?

When I had the bone graft done on my jaw, I lost feeling on the right side of my jaw and the rim of my lower lip. It really doesn't cause me any problems, though, except I have to be sure when I'm eating out that I don't have food on my mouth. LOL

Mary, I have a complication that women usually don't have, I still have to shave! I tried it, but it's still somewhat tender. I may let the beard grow until my cheek starts to improve!

Absolutely, grow the beard! My best friend in high school ended up growing a beard when he tickled me and I instinctively swung backhand as hard as I could. Unlike my sister, who my whole life had come up behind me and tickled in the same spot, Mike wasn't expecting it, and didn't duck. I caught him full force square on the jaw, bruising it pretty badly. The poor thing! Fortunately, he looked good with the beard, and kept it for a while even after he had healed enough to comfortably shave.

I had a HORRIBLE tooth ache one morning at the vets, where I worked. The doctor gave me a syringe of novacaine, to rub on the tooth. I squirted in back on the tooth, and then, without even thinking, swallowed

I knew better than to do that, BUT the rest of the day, my whole throat was numb

But my toothache went away

Hope it gets better soon! Kt

You're lucky thats all it did. I had some dental work done a few years ago and they injected me...for some strange reason it felt like my brain went numb! I couldn't even drive myself home
Mind you all they did was inject some novicane into my gums. I didn't have any other medications at all. I ended up not having any feeling on one side of my mouth for about a month too.
Medications blah...lol.
