What Causes Jaw Pain After Knee Surgery?

I had my knee replaced on June the 8th. I can home with no complications. I had a nerve block and a spinal and some twilight. No intibation . Since I ve been home my mouth hurts terribly. I ve got ulcers in a cluster right inside my lip. They dont hurt like normal ulcers.My mouth is always dry, but seems worse now. And is extremely sensitive to spices. Please at least point me in the right direction.

Hello,

Excess dry mouth with jaw pain may be in concern with possible side effect of some sort of drugs with anti cholinergic properties as well.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
