Hello,

For the past 8 months or so I have had the sharp burning TN stabs in my tongue. They are just as bad or worse than the stabs in my cheek. Does anyone else experience this? The literature on the subject doesn't talk about people experiencing stabs in their tongue.

I appreciate any input,

Stephanie

my tongue becomes numb on the right side and i was told its the linguil nerve. I was wondering if the glosso-paryngeal could cause this. All of my problems are worse on the right side. im trying to schedule diagnostic face blocks and I dont see why steph cant do the same.
