So sick of being sick! I find myself rubbing/massaging my head and face all the time, without even thinking about doing it. Thats how bad the pain is at times. The bones in my face ache constantly it seems. Jawbones,chin,ear cartiledge, even parts of my skull. Its a deep pain, and can be so chronic at times. I am on pain pills and wearing fentanyl patches, and taking ibuprofen in between pain meds. (Im allowed). My chin feels like it is going to pop out of my face. I been feeling this come on all year long, and have mentioned it and both my doctors seem to act like its normal. But, it doesnt feel normal, it hurts and is really tight and hard as a rock. I thought it was another bad lymphnode, but they seem not to think so...My oncologist told me I would have a turkey gobbler. But, its not like that. Those look soft and hang loose. Mine is hard as a bone and I have a point at the bottom of my chin about the size of a zit. Its not easy to see unless you look at it correctly. Its driving me insane and is the biggest pain issue I am having. I know it takes a very long time to recover from staples in the body, I have had 45 of them before. That took over 6 months for the pain to start fading away. And over a year before I could use my arm again properly. Its still not right, but it works. I just cant fathom how long it will take to recover from this surgery. Doctor already told me he would try and get me off the pain meds in about 2 months from now. So that there tells me, I will be eating lots of meds yet..... :(
