AS I have not been able to open my mouth much due to the lock jaw, I havent had a really good look at my tongue. Today after some accupuncture my mouth was much less stiff and I had a really good look. It appears that the tongue, or at least scar tissue at the site of surgery, has fused to both the floor of my mouth and partly to my very back molars. I was able to get a finger in there painfully and push it off the teeth but the part that is stuck to the floor of my mouth is stuck solid and hurts to try and push it off. I think its scar tissue- I do have a tendency toward kelloid tissue. Has anyone had this happen? I've made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow but I'm terrified of having to have more surgery frown
help please!
