Mouth pain over a year, no help or end in sight

As I posted about the Burning Mouth Syndrome I can see a few of the same issues that I experienced now for over 4 years. Teeth hurt the tongue and inside my lower lip is sore and raw, everything I eat hurts my mouth. Eating is not a pleasure! I use Biotene
Gel it's soothing.
My problem started after bunion surgery as well as neuropathy. To date no one has been able to help... still searching.

Interesting. Mine first started with sore tongue in the left side then some sores. However the worse came after back surgery but maybe a coincidence since it sorta started prior. 4 years is too long. I thought my 2 years was long. Not looking hopful

get tested for oral herpes by an infectious disease dr...see if you are high out of normal range..this is what my dr is looking at right now. she started me on valtrex because my numbers are high. it doesn't hurt to try.....i hope this will bring you success.no definitive answers to report yet but praying this IS the reason I have BMS.

Are you in any of the BMS groups on Facebook? They are very helpful. I’ve had it nearly 18 years now and I can usually deal with it.
