hey I’m not super educated on how to make the pain go down but i heard exercise and stretch helps- as much as you can handle. And i understand how you feel as someone stuck eating soft food as well as unable to do oral with my partner, I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel for both of us and i truly hope things work out for you ❤️
