I won’t write at length about the other side effects and the emotional distress I’ve had over the past five years. I’m just living somehow, thinking at least I still have sensation... Five years ago, I had cheekbone surgery, square jaw surgery, and T-osteotomy. From after the surgery, the residual swelling lasted about two years, but even after all the swelling went down, muscle tightness and discomfort around my jaw still continue. This discomfort comes with a feeling of heat and throbbing pain. I keep exercising the area around my jaw, but it doesn’t even last a day. The throbbing pain is always there, and because I want to forget the pain, I’ve barely been holding on by relying on alcohol. When I don’t drink because my health has gotten worse, the area around my jaw hurts so much that it’s agonizing. Is there anyone like me? Will this condition continue for the rest of my life? Pain isn’t something visible, so I can’t even go to the hospital and argue, and that hospital is a large hospital that could bury me even if I had serious side effects, so even more... I just want to know if there is any way to get rid of even this pain, or whether it goes away as time passes. The pain is not getting better.
