I have lost taste or feeling on the top of my tongue and had surgery treatment. Since my surgery spicy and certain foods bother my tongue. I have also read that sensitivity to these things is cause for alarm and possible "hot spots" I guess I am wondering if it is possible for the top of the tongue go kinda numb from surgery yet be sensitive as well be caused from surgery? (free flap was part of the proceedure)
