I had a wisdom tooth extracted in January (it was impacted). I am still experiencing numbness in about 3/4 of my right lower lip and chin. My surgeon has suggested that I might consider trying to have the nerve repaired. I have read that it must be done within 2-4 months or 2-6 months. If I wait longer than that to see if perhaps more feeling returns am I risking the possibility that I will not be able to try and have the nerve repaired. I have taken two packets of predinisone - the last one seemed to help somewhat. I also have MS and I don't know if that is contributing to my problem. Any thoughts or advice you may give me will be appreciated.
Thank You,
Sundance
