I'm 9 Weeks Post Op Following a Face/neck Lift with Significate Pain Around my Ears, Face and Neck (Under Entire Jaw Line)?

May 21, 2012
Asked By:Mal

I believe it is a combination of nerve pain/swelling. I have severe burning pain all the time around ears, face and neck. IIt's worse on the left side (most of my ear is still numb on this side). I have been taking muscle relaxers, anti-spasm meds, Tylenol, Benadryl (advise of PS), and recently Ibuprofen. The pain is excruciating most all the time. I'm having difficulty just getting through the day. What can I do to get this burning pain/swelling under control?
