Thanks Cheryl. Yes, having one removal after another is anxiety producing but I can't do much to change it.
Due to migraine history I never smoked and rarely drink. But, I am a chronic mouth chewer and grind my teeth/jaw day and night. Working on that habit. DDS made a guard to wear when I sleep but I have a tough time with a gag reflex/thick throat issue. Makes it more difficult to use it.
With the tissue being puffy it rubs constantly and hasn't ever really healed.
MRI I had done on Sunday (yes Sunday) showed marginal increase in lymph node size.
New doc will review all tomorrow and I'll know what the next steps are.
