Cc83,

As I said, that area of your mouth has been through so much trauma in a short period of time. It would be normal for it to take several weeks if not longer for it to really calm down. In the meantime, make sure you brush and floss thoroughly to keep things healthy and be mindful of what you are eating so that you can avoid over working your jaw muscles.

Keep us posted!
