Ths Sore Lip Again

Author: Ronish

I`ve been searching all the old clarinet and sax postings on sore lips but nearly all talk of teeth cutting into the bottom lip thru` biting. But if biting is the problem then the pain should originate where the teeth contact the lip, that is a bit down, maybe 3mm from the top surface of the lip. And that is not where my pain is located.
My lip pain is on the top surface of my lip. The point of contact with the reed. The location where you would apply lipstick if you used it. I don`t roll my lip over my teeth and my lower teeth never contact the reed.
On the assumption that my lips don`t like cane, I`ve tried Legere but find the edges curl up a bit and even when sanded still seem sharp.
After playing two nights in a row I can`t bear even 10sec. reed contact the next day.
