Tongue not exactly numb, but...

I have had 3 surgeries so far [scalpel & laser] for recurring leukoplakia. At least half of my tongue has a prickly feeling 100% of the time. Feels sort of like if you skinned your knee and air flows over it. It's not painful, but very disconcerting and never goes away. I'm not sure if that feeling is spreading. My surgeon just shrugs and says they probably disturbed nerve endings during surgery. He's seen so much worse in his patients, so to him, this is nothing. I agree that it could be much, much worse, and yes, I can live with it, but if there is anything I can do about it...
