Hi everyone,

I had a radical forearm free-flap/reconstruction and neck dissection done 2.5 years ago. Luckily, I needed no further treatment. I have been numb in the jaw/neck area ever since.

2 weeks ago, I have started to regain feeling. When I press on that side of my tongue, I can feel it all the way down my neck.

I guess it's a good to regain feeling but I am panicking. I already made an app to see my doctor.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could this be nerve damage?

Happy 27th Birthday to me! Couldn't bring in the new year without a quick trip down google lane (google is the worst). That's why I decided to finally post here smile


Thank you!
-Katie
