I had a biopsy on both sides of me tongue done by my oral surgeon and was diagnosed with Lichens Planus. I did some research and it showed that you can have steroid injections directly injected into the ulcers. The oral surgeon did so and my ulcers on my tongue have cleared up.
Laurie,
You have had too much time without proper diagnosis…. How horrible:( I feel really bad for you. I had biopsy and it takes 2 weeks to get patho and histology so I get results this Thursday and will let you know. Mine was sent to Florida University Oral Path lab… supposedly excellent but I’m very untrusting with this mouth mess so I’m having one done at UMKC at the recommendation of doc friend who was misdiagnosed with leukoplakia. Sometimes I think they just don’t know or can be wrong:(
On another note… I had zero pain after my biopsy that was done on my gums. He pulled six pieces and I was fine so think you will be good:)))
Best wishes, Thais really is tiring and scary for you… I know too well.
I’m a nurse so I recommend one thing … get your Shingles vax as when you talked steroids, they hurt your immune system and ya sure don’t want to add insult of shingles.
