I need some help with quite a few issues I
have been having since having my tonsils
out sept. 15, 05. First of all I am
36 years old and I was informed that it
would be a painful surgery and difficult
recovery for someone my age. However it
was a bit more painful than I would have
led myself to believe I was in tremendous
pain for the first 7-10 days I also had a
reaction to the coidene based pain killer
almost killed me, I had serve head aches
and dripped sweat while taking it so be
aware.
Any since my operation the usually arched
shaped tissue that attaches to the uvula
(the thing that hang down from the back
roof of your mouth) healed and is now
horizontal and my taste buds are out of
wack.
1. I have a smaller airway though
slightly smaller it seems to make a big
difference when I am trying to breath.
2. I have trouble swallowing accompanied
with the sensation of feeling like I am
going to gag.
3. I have lost major taste sensation- I
can't taste anything sweet (it usually
tastes bland or tart. I find my self
not wanting to eat because of the
displeasure related with eating.
4. Alot of the time I can physically
feel my uvula in the back of my throat and
before the surgery I never felt it and it
seems to hang down lower because of the
way the tissue healed horizontally.
I don't want to talk your ears off but did
any one else experience these types of
symtoms and if so what did you do. :(
