Tongue biopsy

I got a biopsy on my tongue yesterday. Cannot believe the pain. The glands under my chin and neck are massive and I can hardly swallow my saliva. I had an awful night due to the pain in spite of taking painkillers. I've had previous major operations but omg totally didn't expect this pain 

  • Hello Carole52, 

    Poor you this sounds like truly horrendous pain. I hope you are feeling a bit better today? If you see the pain is getting too much, it might be worth giving your doctor a call - as it's the weekend you could try ringing 111 and seeing whether you can get more adequate pain relief. 

    I hope you feel better soon and that you recover quickly from this tongue biopsy. Many of our members have been through this before and I hope you will hear from someone soon who has had a similar experience. 

    Best wishes,
