Okay, the best way I can describe this is that it feels like the gums healed with not enough "stretch" after my apico. It is right in the front, and I am still dealing with unusual numbness in the gums as well. Right where the edge of the gum flap was, up near the crease where my gums meet my top lip, there is a small knot. Any time I attempt to move my lip (eating, smiling, talking), it pulls and feels like the gums are pinching all the way from my gums in between my teeth to that little knot. It is very uncomfortable and annoyingly painful. It is like the skin/gums now has a fold in it and is too short to stretch properly.
Will this stretch out over time (I am almost two weeks post surgery)? Or am I stuck with this?
I was at the endo today for a host of other issues such as the numbness, pain behind the tooth, and nerves pulsing, so that question got lost in the shuffle.
Sorry...I am a mess right now emotionally, am terrified that I just messed up my mouth even more by having this surgery. I don't know why I can't just have one successful procedure. It is like my body is working against me.
