Thanks. I’m disappointed as the ENT didn’t see how the scar tissue could be cut away without major surgery and then it probably wouldn’t fix it. He thinks its nerve pain, and prescribed nerve pain meds. But then I remembered twenty years ago nerve pain meds caused my jaw to spaz. So the nurse is going to call me after she tell doctor.
Wonder if I should see what a dentist thinks?

Any thoughts here Peobody? Its seems to me it wouldn't hurt for her to talk to a dentist. Is there another doctor she could seek help and ask? Is there some specialist we're overlooking?Plastic surgeon/.......
Throwing out ideas.
(If a nerve runs through impaired muscle, fascia, or visceral tissue, the entwined nerve can be pinched or pulled by the fibrous scar, causing pain signals to be sent. For example, scars sometimes grow long, tentacle-like strands called adhesions.)
The waves generated by ultrasound cause tiny vibrations in the cells of the soft tissues. These micro-vibrations affect the fibers that form scar tissue. Over time, ultrasound used in this method can prevent scar tissue from forming and may be able to break scar tissue down.
Dermatologists can use a laser to reduce a scar's appearance and minimize pain and itching. Laser treatment can also prevent scars from forming after surgery. The laser helps stimulate new, healthy skin growth. Although laser treatment cannot completely remove scars, it can make them less noticeable and uncomfortable.
