Hi Emily 6957
Yes I recovered from nerve damage. I could still feel things after the surgery; it felt really really dull. My teeth healed first and then chin last. I think it took around one month for my teeth to feel normal and chin a couple of months. I feel completely normal now. I am not sure if steroid helped though. I took it after 4 days, and I read somewhere afterwards that you have to take steroid within 24 hours. However, I am not sure if it's due to my nerve damage or something else, but my earache has been pretty bad. It's been now almost 5 months, and I still feel ear pressure almost every day (not constant). Still, I do not feel sharp ear pain any more, so I think I am still getting better.
