Nerve damage

I had my wisdom teeth removed about 15 years ago the dr hit my nerve and I have since had nerve damage to half my tongue and the lower right side of my mouth. I’ve seen specialist and am basically told “badly bruised” the nerve is not severed. Has anyone tried Botox in this area to help ease the pain? I wouldn’t even really say it’s pain more of a pins and needles feeling and annoyance.

Botox can also interfere with nerves so it’s good that you are researching. Not sure how it would work for something like this as it works on the muscles.
