I have a small white lump on the lingual frenulum (under my tounge) for the past three days. It doesn't particularly hurt but is worrying me! It's almost like a skin tag. I can't leave it alone. I have a secondary diagnosis of Burning Mouth Syndrome as well as fibro and my mouth is always giving me problems these days. Anyone experience anything like this?!?

Members rallied around someone worried about a white lump under their tongue, sharing reassurance and similar experiences including mouth cysts that resolved on their own, thrush causing severe burning, and recurring clear bumps that disappeared after a few days. Several members described ongoing mouth-related challenges commonly linked to fibromyalgia, such as burning mouth syndrome, dry mouth, TMJ pain, muscle fatigue making it difficult to chew, and jaw pain so severe it hurts to eat or drink. A recurring theme was the community's validation that mouth problems are frustratingly common with fibromyalgia, with members encouraging each other to see doctors for proper diagnosis while offering solidarity through shared struggles with tooth pain and oral discomfort.

Ive gotten an almost clear bump under tongue a few times but its been awhile since I've had one. They always went away after a few days though. I looked up TMJ (the first time i had jaw pain) because I go through jaw pain so bad it hurts to drink or eat but its not everyday, thank goodness.

Dry mouth and burning tongue are definitely a part of fibro!! We have had so many discussions on this that it is too common in so many of us with fibro, it couldn’t be a coincidence!! Hurts like hell!!!

I just got over thrush which caused severe burning in my mouth but I only had a few small white patches. It could be thrush so I would go to your doctor asap before it gets worse. I hope you find out what it is. Please let us know. Good luck. Hugs
