Thanks Christine! Before the biopsy, the pain was different... it was more on the surface, but almost felt like a stabbing pain down in the tissue. Also, I could pinpoint where the pain was coming from. Now, the biopsied site is not really the painful part, but its the tissue under my jawbone and chin that causing pain... any movement to my head or mouth causes pain... i can even feel it when i walk. it's very bizarre.

At first, my doctor thought it could be exposed mandible because the area felt rough. but when i went back in to get the biopsy, she said she didnt think it felt like that anymore. I am thinking it must be an infection, and maybe fluid that is causing the swelling. I guess I will give it a couple days and then if the antibiotics don't work I will see a doctor. My biopsy results should come in tomorrow, so hopefully they will come back negative and i won't have to worry so much. I am just concerned that the original ulcer really didn't feel like a tiny ulcer, despite how it looked. I guess we will see though! i'll let you know when i find out
