I had a similar experience in High school. (30 yrs ago.) I had really worked hard for a summer. Building my range, technique, etc. I used a Bach 5C and had a real sound and a little range. Double G. Well any how I got lead in stage band. I achieved my goal and stopped working so hard. You know I knew everything and didn't need to keep working so hard. Pretty soon my range slipped and I tried to compensate with pressure. This worked a little but I was abusing my lip. Now I figured I'll just switch to a smaller mpc. This worked for a while, but something went wrong. My embrochure, or mpc position moved. I tried to fix it. I switched back to the 5C and played hard. It didn't work. I switched back smaller again. I lost it all. I eventually took time off. Went back to the 5C and started over. That worked. Don't abuse your lip. Listen to your body. When fatigued, rest. When it feels right work hard, even push it a little. Take care of your self. Anyhow I am long winded. Take off the time you need. Rebuild slowly. You will get it back quick if you don't over do it. Good luck.
