Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I understand the initial pain but the tongue has a rich blood supply and so healing should be fast. I would insist you to upload an image of the yellowish spots and I will mention if they are a cause for concern.

I would be glad if you mention what assistance you seek from me in the context of the sciatica. It is difficult for me to comment without proper investigative details. I would insist you to upload the report of MRI or X ray that you have. Based on the findings, vertebral traction or surgery might be required. It might also be necessary to visit a physical therapist who could advise and demonstrate to you the right exercises that could help you.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards

I have not seen a neurologist as of yet...I plan on seeing one in the near future. I am happy to hear from you that the tongue heals quite quickly, because of it's rich supply of blood, has been 4 days, so far. I will suggest
vertebral traction, my 5 M.D. doctors that I saw in 5 (count them) different appointments. A different one, every visit.visit. Needless to say, I was not comfortable. Neurologists are very hard to find around here. I live in Maine, and in order to see one, I will need to travel to Lewiston, ME, which is approximately 45 minutes from my house. I might also add, my driver's license was taken away for 6 months, and lost my job as a Transportation job, as well.
