I am 3 weeks post surgery and am finally healing. It was not fun!!

Unfortunately I have developed adhesions to the left ventral and front of my tongue/bottom of mouth, despite a hyper mobile tongue prior to sx and my attempts to move my tongue after sx. My tongue is still numb with electrical nerve pain to this area. The area was not grafted. I can swallow but not chew, due to risk of biting my tongue. I am eating pasta, eggs soft stuff although I cannot really taste it.

Speech is compromised. I have problems with the soft C sound, S, sh and wh and am unable to return to work or find another job until my speech improves. Since I live alone this is a pressing issue. (My friends tease me about sounding like I have lost 20 IQ points. Gee Thanks.)

I go for my first post op follow up visit with my ENT surgeon next week. What are the most common treatments for adhesions of the tongue? I gather lasering (lysis) the adhesions? What does that involve and what is the recovery like? Risks of further adhesions? How does one minimize the risks of adhesions?

Any thoughts?
