Currently undergoing my last week of rads and I'm experiencing this pain along with referred pain in my ear. Sometimes unbearable! I'm not sure if it's just swollen or if I'm experiencing pain from atrophy? I am still able to talk but the last few weeks I lost my voice and haven't been able to talk normally due to the pain. Both the physical and referred pain does go away sometimes when I apply pressure on the outside of my jaw. Has anyone else experienced this?
