Hiya Sarahvm

Glad to hear you're feeling better, and fingers crossed you get a brilliant result

Kind regards Vey

Hi Vey,

I hope you are feeling a little better and you managed to get more info regarding the request for Kidney tests...Keep me posted!

just thought I’d let you know that my biopsy results showed severe Oral Lichenoid Inflammation, not cancerous, PHEW!

The consultant in the Max Fax clinic has suggested I get my amalgam fillings replaced with composite ones ( Costly), and have been given a steroid nasal spray to put on my tongue? 

Apparently it’s now a process of elimination to find the cause and if it hasn’t gone down in 4 weeks when I return to see him he has suggested another biopsy. 

Hoping it miraculously didsappears...

All the best Sarah x

Hi i have just got back from having a tongue biopsy and omg the pain is terrible i feel like my tongue as got a red on poker stuck on it, and i just want to get it off. If i would have known what i know now omg i would have left it a lone. Sorry for venting i,m just sat here crying not knowing which when to turn.

Hi had a tongue biopsy on Wednesday, it has gone green and I feel sick and sore. I take it's a sign off infection? Help x

Ellie, you need to go back to your consultant/gp/casualty asap. 

Hope you feel better soon.

Hello

I had a tongue biopsy last Thurs.. 6 days ago.. site of cut still very swollen and pink.. rest of mouth seems to have settled a bit.. extremely sore.. have only just eaten past couple of days.. rinsing regularly with salt water or antiseptic mouthwash.. putting bonjella on wound..

is the still raised pink part of the wound normal..? 
thank you.

Hi Christine.  Not quite sure what's normal!!  Had biopsy on side of tongue 5 days ago.  Still swollen and find that tongue rubs on bottom teeth so making more pain .  Can't even touch top lip with tongue.  Taking bg paracetamol and cordosyl mouthwash.  Can't clean teeth very well as scared of touching where stitches are.  Hope you're doing ok

Hi, 

I had an incisional biopsy on the top of my tongue on Wednesday morning, so this is day 6 of recovery. The swelling has reduced and the pain is very minimal, maybe a 2 out of 10. It's more just uncomfortable and inconvenient feeling the stitches and knowing that something isn't quite right in that area.

What I am struggling with the most is talking and eating. I still can't eat anything other than soup and yoghurt as I'm afraid of irritating the wound while it's still healing or causing it to open. (It already opened once on the day of surgery but it was sealed again). 

Can anyone recommend things that are easy to consume while it's still healing? Or has anyone had similar experiences with difficulty eating?

I know it's still early days since having it but it just feels like it's never going to heal or get any better. So frustrated and hungry.

Thanks

Hi Elizabeth,

I had a toungue biopsy today right in the middle of my tounge the pain is immense now that my local anisthetic has worn off! The pain is under my jaw and goes right around to my ears did you experience this?
