Almost 1 year post op. to jaw surgery,few major concerns

[aj08229]

Hey guys, i am almost close to the one year mark since my double jaw surgery for underbite,i am having some concerns and i seek for your help if any one of you been through these hurdles of jaw surgery that i am going through right now or just know a good alternative/any sort of sugesstion would really help me.

Here are the few major concerns that i am having -
1) Stiffness in the chin and lower lip -
as far the numbness,the area does not really feel numb as i used to feel right after the surgery for almost a month but i feel stiff patch right on the chin and lower lip ,it only bothers me more in the cold as it gets more stiff and i feel little heavy in there,and normally it's stiff in a mild form..as far the numbness i feel it is there 15-20% in overall chin and lower lip

2) Feeling plates and screws -
i could easily feel them if i touch on it,it does'nt bother me except on right side of lower jaw where i could feel pain if i touch on the plate and there is a bump over there which my surgeon told is because of loose plate.when i asked him about it he said there is no need to remove it,but along with that i also feel pain around my sinus area where the upper plates are.so should i ask my surgeon to remove them? or does that have any major cons that would make me think more about this

3) Popping in TMJ bone and mild ear pain -
When i reported this problem to my surgeon,he told me to get some TMJ and xrays of my current bite he could'nt figure out if it was TMD but only told me to have warm compressions over the pain area and try to limit my mouth opening,in the morning i could feel it more than any time of day

So these are the major problems i am having which i really hope to get an good alternatives for, please write below in the comment ..thank you
