Hi all,
I guess I must be experiencing fatigue from the surgery. Its quite frustrating as i'm usually very active. I only take ibuprofen for the pain so I don't think that it is a drug issue. I haven't been sleeping to well for a while either (due to a young baby) so that must be adding to it all! My tongue is still quite sore from the op - more so than when i first had it done. Is this normal? It looks much better in the mirror and appears to be healing well so I thought that it could be the nerves re growing. I have a follow up appointment in 3 weeks with my surgeon so i will bring it up then if it is still persisting. Thank you all for the replies and the advice.
