Hi Minnea,

I am a little over a year and a half out of radiation and still get surprised sometimes by the shooting pain in my ear. My head and neck scans are normal also. Hope this helps. And no you shouldn't ignore symptoms but if it's good that you are learning what all of us have an are going through. Not every pain is a recurrence or spread.

You know I never had a sinus headache during radiaotion - see there is a bright side...there were a lot of old aches and pains that all of a sudden subsided during radiation. I just figured my body was too focused on the radiation to pay attention to the rest (or was that my mind?)

You take care,
Dinah
