8 Weeks Ago, I Had a Gum Graft Done and Still Have No Feeling in my Lip or Chin?

May 15, 2013

I've recently discovered the graft was done near the mental nerve. The Dr. said he severed a few of the branches of the mental nerve, but everything should be OK and not to worry. I'm in pain when I talk, move my lower lip and eat. There is a tugging and pulling feeling inside my lip anytime I try to move it, accompanied by pain, tingling and electrical pulses. I would appreciate any kind of advice, and recommendations as to what can be done to repair this injury..
