Painful Swollen Tongue Sensation
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just count on the potential of everything to possibably swell at some point. That way when it does you are not surprised.

Yes it happens to me and It could be for multiple reason 1) your tongue is swelling or may not be swelling but in turn causing you to bite your cheeks, gums and tongue at nights or during the day, It doesn't have to be a literal bite but having the soft tissue of a tongue press against hard coated teeth, its going to get injured and sore. Causes for this includes: teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, anxiety, bruxism etc. Should heel after 3 to 4 days. You may also experience pain in the jaw bones as well due to Fibro.
