Default Recovery

Hi Diana,
Each persons recovery is different. My dr. told me that nerves heal something like l/4 to l/2 inch per year. So you will probably get some wierd sensations. My annie (1 cm) was about 2 inches behind my right eye. They cut through my jaw muscles and caused major TMJ for awhile. If I chew gum or sticky candy it returns. Did that this week and the whole LEFT side of my face was so sore I could not touch it. If you are really concerned and it doesn't go away give your surgeon a call and ask. Their nurses can find out the answer and give you a call back. Do you have a check-up soon? I think I went back about a year after my surgery. Call your GP and have him call your surgeon. My prayers are with you. Katie
