Tongue biopsy

Hi I had a tongue biopsy with three stitches 6 days ago, Iv never felt pain like it. I was not prepared for how sore my mouth would be and how difficult it is to eat and talk, but what’s worse is I keep biting my tongue in my sleep, something Iv never done before the biopsy. Has anyone experienced this. I’m now scared to sleep.

  • Hi Jule33,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing these difficulties, it sounds very painful.

    Hopefully things have improved a little since the biopsy, and also since posting here. If you continue to struggle with the pain, try to have a chat with your doctor to see if there is anything they can suggest.

    In the meantime, hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon - particularly if others with similar experience see it.

    Wishing you all the best,
