I fractured my jaw in 1991, my shattered mouth was wired shut for 5 weeks. I remember the impact, could feel the broken chin bone overlap for a second. That stretched the nerve. That chin bone now has a surgical wire wrapped around it.
For many years afterwards it had a numby sensation when I ran my finger across the bottom of my chin bone, kinda felt like "zzzz", if you can imagine how that would feel. The nerve took a good 12 or so years to heal; now it's fine and not numb anymore. Yours will heal in time, I'm sure much sooner than that, but nerves do take their time. I hope your soreness at least goes away soon!
Also in the same accident (bicycling) , I had a laceration on top of my head that required 7 stitches. Didn't have any concussion symptoms, buuuut maybe that explains a few things about me LOL
P.S. I'm still purty, I had a great plastic surgeon! :-) ..... also, just so ya'all know I just got my nickname changed from wendro* ... Hey Mark recognize the reference?! ;-)
