Now, it feels as though my tongue is still too big for my mouth- and it rests up against that back tooth still on the left side. There is a hardened groove along the tongue, where the tongue & tooth meet. There is a fairly consistent dull pain, throbs once in a while, which seems lesser than what it did before my diagnosis... But, I am worried.

I have removed the link placed you on your post, moved your post and allowed you to remain part of this forum since you appear to be an OC survivor. Hope I am not wrong!


Many patients will have scar tissue build up around any surgery sites and it can become painful. Go back to your ENT to have it looked at. Sometimes they will need to surgically remove the scar tissue.
