I Just Can't Eat

It seems like every time I try to eat I end up with these stitches and crap getting incredibly sore and my jaw aching. I don't think I will be trying to eat anymore until it is time for these stitches to come out. We only have tomato soup, yogurt, and pudding that are for sure soft foods, but I am sick of just eating sweets. I want food, food. On top of that I have this nasty taste in my mouth that if I didn't know any better is coming from the wounds in my mouth. I am going to try to avoid food which is going to be tough, but I just can't deal with the pain. Last night I slept in bed for the first time ssince my surgery and I woke up with my ear starting to hurt. I am hoping it is completely unrelated. I think I just need to sleepthe days away until it is stitch removal day.

Its weird anytime I have teeth work done I get some kind of ear pain. When do you have to go back? Make sure this is not an infection. Teeth and ear are related.

I can feel your pain because few years ago I had my surgery and the recovery time is really painful.

I think to be safe I would call about this as it doesn't sound normal and with your ear starting to hurt could be an infection.
