Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 60 | I am now 8 months post radiation. My jaw muscle on the radiation side has started getting stiff. In the morning it seems a bit swolen and is painfull when I bite down.
Is this just the normal scar tissue type reaction. What have others experienced in this regard.
On another note, I think I have lost most of my sweetness taste. I can taste honey, but it no longer tastes sweet.
