It's so nice to not be writhing in pain each time I start eating something. It has taken 3.5 months to see this gradually change for the better. I have to keep reminding myself that nerve pain is slow to heal. Hopefully by May, when I have my next surgery, it will be gone & even more hopefully, I won't get it on the other side post op.
May it encourage you to know that patience will most likely pay off for anyone who's suffering from this most uncomfy post op side effect or any other nerve damage issue.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Thankful that you are improving…quite a trial in patience sometimes…Gods blessings to you as you continue to recover and prepare for your next surgery…
Thank you, Kay & shoppergirl! God is good all the time, even when we suffer. We are His treasured possessions & nothing He allows into our lives is pointless.
I just saw this discussion and wanted to thank you for posting your experience with first bite syndrome. I too have this on both sides after my surgery. I am very pleased to know that this is a temporary nerve related syndrome and that yours is going away! So happy for you! Patience, patience, patience for the rest of us!
