Numb Tongue?

Hi all,

weird question... How long did it take for you to have your tongue feel normal?

Surgery was Monday am, and the tip of my tongue is still numb and tingly. It's very odd. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you been taking your calcium supplements?  One of the earliest signs of low blood calcium is  tingling or 'pins and needles' sensation in and around the mouth and lips. 

While I was in the hospital, my calcium dropped before normal.  The discarged me with a prescription nasal spray of calcium - and told me to watch out for tingling of my lips or/are tongue (and to call if I experienced either).

You might want to run it by your surgeon on Monday.  They might want to some lab work now instead of waiting until your next visit.
