That does sound awful. And it sounds like it heals fairly slowly. I always thought mouths healed quickly but maybe not. Maybe that’s just something the dentist told me to keep me optimistic when i had gum transplants.
I had to look up the lymphedema. Is that also related to your tongue?
They removed a bunch of lymph nodes in my neck just as a precaution. I wish I knew about lymphedema before I agreed to it.
I found exercises to do and some message moves, need to get some compression. I hope I can get it under control that way.
