Vin,
I didn't have radiation, but do clench my teeth in my sleep. After my glossectomy healed I had a really severe ache start in my tongue. I was sure it was a recurrence, but it was my tongue tensing up along with the other muscles in my neck and jaw. My dentist prescribed diazepam at bedtime and I don't have that problem anymore.

Sincerely,
Lisa
