Tongue biopsy, Liver Scan, Bronchoscopy tests in 2 week period. Pain is more than I can bear.

I had a tongue biopsy on Friday last week. The pain afterwards has been excruciating. I cannot eat, drink, swallow and even talk clearly. I am also having a liver ultrasound next Saturday. Turns out my tongue biopsy area is infected and it may be a while before I can pick up my life again. I am an insulin dependent diabetic as well and can't take the insulin because I can't eat because of the extreme pain in my mouth. I am now weak and debilitated because of this. I've had to take advice about this but am still waiting. My liver, stomach, chest and tongue are all requiring urgent tests in this two week period. I may get a diagnosis at the end of the day but at what cost? The pain of the biopsy and afterwards are more than I can bear and my body has gone into a kind of 'shock' mode. Has anyone else ever suffered like this?

Hi I can only empathise with you. I suffer from oral allergies. I use abo use Bonjello gum jelly applied to the area infected. You could also try eating smoothies,soup,plenty of water and go to your dentist who can help you.
