Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

Many times in the Dentist Chair for any kind of procedure, my tongue has given both Dental Hygeinests,Dental Ass't's and Dentists trouble as it keeps moving around and I am unable to have control of it
(especially when I'm trying to breathe Nitro?/gas thru my nose!) Today, I realized it must be BPI/Nerve damage on the left side....as I am LOBPI..it just has to be anotherSecondary Injury/Medical Issue. People in the Dental offices have always comment on this and say they never saw it before me...
Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: 28 years old with a right obstetrical brachial plexus injury. 5 surgeries to date with pretty decent results. Last surgery resolved years of pain in my right arm however, I am beginning my journey with overuse in my left arm
For your bpi to affect your tongue would be pretty interesting. From my anatomy that I have had so far the nerve that controls the tongue is cranial nerve number 9 meaning its located on the brain stem. For it to be injured would be really bad.
So hopefully it has nothing to do with anything other than a busy tongue

Amy....YOU "Smarty Pants", you!! Of Course you are right!! ...Except they at the Dentist's office called it A Wicked Tongue 'cause it distrupted them immensely and frustrated tem to no end ,they could not find a way to work and stopped after 2 procedures instead of doing 3 things.
HUGS and good Luck in your studies and upcoming Exams.

I wonder if that "wicked" tongue is genetic. My kids have been at the dentist this last week and with all but the youngest they had a TON of trouble with the kids tongues being very active. I have never been told that before, but DH told me that the dentist has always told him that!
