Thank you so much for taking your time to answer

The 9 volt battery is EXACTLY how I describe it (although I didn't know the correct translation to English) I told my doctor about it and kind of told me that it might be in my head.. I knew it wasn't and that is why I decided to write here in search of another patient who could validate the sensation as real
So thank you for that!! (Doctors are great at their jobs but they have their tongues intact so they can't really relate)

As for the neck I do have restricted movement of the left arm as a result of the nerve damage, I've been told it can take up to a year or more.. in the meantime I’m going to physiotherapy rehabilitation trying not to loose more muscular mass.

3 months after surgery I started to have recurring mucoceles I don't know if this is typical after partial glosectomy but I sure hope they heal on their own - I'm not quite ready to have any kind of even minor surgery on my tongue any time soon
