Pete I have been having that problem with my neck and up thru my jaw , tongue into my left ear. It hurts like hell, but they say it is scarfe tissue and will keep being more painful. They gave me methadone ot use with the percocet and Magic Mouthwash. I am at the point where I hate to eat or even drink water,. I force it. Ihope you are just hurting and nothing else is going on. good luck.
