Yes thank you to you for posting on this forum and sharing your experiences, I wouldn’t have found him without you!
I’m very happy with how the surgery went from a post op perspective with very little in the way of side effects or pain. Just have to wait and see if my prior symptoms will clear up at all now.
Today is third day from surgery so swelling may be still getting worse I suppose. My jaw is much stiffer today and I have a feeling of something stuck in my throat, but it’s not painful so much as just uncomfortable.
In finding it very helpful using a soft collar to strap around my neck with a frozen gel pack tucked inside to hold it against the wound. Much easier than having to hold it in place and I do think it’s quite soothing.
Very drowsy today though. Maybe the meds? 'm on celecoxib and paracetamol now. I’ve stopped taking the dihydrocodeine for now. Hopefully I don’t regret that later!
