[12:34 PM EST - The sores in force.]
Ugh. I've got a ton of sores on the inside of my mouth now, but the one that's bothering the most is this button of skin right in front of one of the brackets on my lower left lip. I have a tendency of clamping on it with my incisors/bracket which seems to make it jut out even more!
Ugh, eating is such a pain in the mouth!

"The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not."

Some suggestions for easing your agony:
1) Cold sore medication. It has a local anesthetic so just dab it on and it should numb the pain somewhat.
2) Eat something spicy for supper. It'll burn like hell at first but then the pain gets better. Too bad the effect doesn't last very long. Btw, if you're curious as to why this works, look up "substance P" and "capsaicin".
