Had hemi glossectomy 9/29. Surgery went well and immediately after little pain after. But now that swelling is going down having lot of pain. Also had neck dissection no trach. Side where my tongue is remaining working good. But flap overlays my teeth on affected side. How will I ever be able to chew when the flap lays on teeth. Will selling going down change this.
