I am a 25 year old woman who is suffering from alveolar nerve damage. It has only been 2 weeks. The first week I experienced extreme tingling/numbness. This week, the numbness isn't as bad, and the tingling has subsided. I have started to experience alittle more burning/tooth ache pain as a result. If I bite my lip/chin I can feel maybe half of the sensation. Although a week ago I couldn't feel anything. I hope this means my nerve will repair itself soon! I think I may have type 1 injury (Neuropraxia). My speech isn't as impaired which is good. But i'm constantly depressed/lost weight because of it..not to mention the strain its putting on my supportive husband
