Default Bad absessed impacted wisdom tooth

About a year ago my impacted wisdom tooth became absessed. Dentist put me on antibiotics and made me an appointment with an oral surgeon. The surgeon informed me if he removed the tooth I would loose the feelings in my lower lip plus probably would break my jaw then or later. I opted to forgo the procedure. About two weeks ago it became absessed again. Another round of amoxicillin the pain is gone but cannot open mouth enough to eat and a knot has developed under my jaw that is painful to touch. Still taking antibiotics. Should I gamble and have the tooth removed?
