Feeling of nerve or "something" moving when biting down
« on: December 09, 2015, 03:47:34 AM »
After my second chin wing I had total numbess on the right side. Slowly after two weeks this seems to be improving as I regain some sensation. Regardless, since about 1.5 weeks post-op when I could first start fitting solids in my mouth and chewing them (soft things like a pasta noodle) I've had something very strange happening.

Basically it started that when I'd bite down a bit the nerve would feel like it moved and tweaked, causing a rush of paresthesia to the numb area of my chin and lip. This kept going on for a bit. Now it's changed whereby I don't feel that rush of paresthesia anymore, however whenever I'm biting down I feel something moving in that exact area (like a nerve, but who knows?).

It's very strange and I can find a single other report like mine. Does anyone know what this could be? Surgeon claims it's normal but how to know? A forum member here suggested it's possible the nerve is not inside its canal and being moved around?

Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.
01/10/14 - Last night I spilt spaghetti sauce on my chin for the very first time in my life and cried.

for me it's micro compression and decompression of the nerve in the bone. but how it's compressed where...dunno.
