Hello all I had bimaxilliary osteotomy in 2015 - wow, was it that long ago??! Anyhow, I have got what I think is a bone fragment coming out of my gum :shock: I have been to the orthodontist who has referred me to the maxillofacial dept at the hospital . I have a appt there at the end of the month. I...

Hi all, hope you recovery is progressing ok. I'm banded to make adjustments, and may have a infection in one of the plates in my lower jaw. I've just to keep an eye on it for now & notify them of any changes, but it is a worry. The worst thing for me at the moment tho is my hearing. I feel like ...

Thanks for the reassurance JMP75

Jmp75 I have pressure in my ears - sometimes feels like I'm under water or on a plane, but sometimes it goes really clear & I can hear everything properly. I'm hoping this subsides over time as it's an unpleasant sensation

Hey August/September peeps Sorry for the radio silence - going back to work really takes it out of you! I'm struggling at the mo with the altered sensation - it's really from my eye sockets down to my chin. If I drool I can't feel it til it reaches under my chin. My face doesn't look puffy, but it f...

Thanks nozzlenut!

My lips at really buzzing today, almost a burning sensation - those nerves must be waking up

When I put wax on u braces I just tried to suck air past the wires to dry them out a bit, then mould the wax around the sharp area. The wax will stick better to a dry area, and also one that is not too smooth.

Hope you get some relief from pain soon

Think I'm gonna try & post some pics of it'll let me!

Hi all So today I have eaten a nutrition shake, cottage cheese & pineapple Blended up, and some chicken soup. Am starting to feel some buzzing, fizzing & twitching in my lips & chin so imagine that's the nerves waking up. Has anyone been taking bromelain for swelling ? Has it helped you?...

Is wax any use? A big blob on the shape bit.

It sounds horrendous - can't believe they sent you home??!!

Hi all Glad to hear you're progressing well vandycru - that chicken broth sounds amazing, and I agree about the cup. Even with elastics in it's better than the syringe for me. Hope your procedure went well adorkable - looking forward to hearing from you when you're up to it. I had my surgery on Mond...

Good luck adorkable and vandycru x

Right, well I'm all packed - I think!! No doubt there'll be something I've forgotten!
