Having one of those days where everything just seems to hurt. When does the paranoia end??
I am having pain in my jaw, right at the place in front of the ear where it joins the upper jaw. It aches and makes my ears ache also, more on the right side then the left. I expect my left side to hurt, they removed that lower jaw bone and replaced it with a bone from my leg. But why would my right, lower jaw ache like this? Can raidation mess with the joints?

SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
