I started facepulling November 2012 using a headgear device I created myself. I pulled 30 minutes everyday for 15 months, using moderate upward/forward force. I noticed changes almost right away, in only a few months I had closed my bite (I had an underbite) and my face transformed a lot in general.
Now however I've run into a problem. About a few months or so I've had this pain in the face. It's a searing type of pain that doesn't really ever go away.
I am worried that it is the face pulling that triggered it, however, the fact that it never hurt like this once during the actual treatment and coupled with the fact that this pain appeared long after I desisted the pulling makes this unclear. There are many factors that can contribute to my facial pain, but what do you think, have I caused irreperable damage in some way?
Also, I've experienced a loss of taste recently, could this also be a consequence of the facepulling or is something else? I'm praying for a deviated septum or something like that.
