I�ve had complications from RT also � lots of pain and slow healing. My doctors tried a number of different things before I went for HBO.

For pain I also used the Neurontin for a while (plus a number of other prescription pain-killers). My RO also prescribed Trental / Pentoxifylline (400 mg) which was to help with the blood flow issues in the radiated area. He also had me take vitamin E for the same reason (800 IU twice daily). I still continue to take 400 IU of vitamin E twice daily.

My HBO doctor told me that they are unsure how long the effects of the HBO therapy lasts, and that if I needed dental work in the future (5+ years) they may want to have me repeat the HBO treatments.

Perhaps it�s time to switch doctors if you haven�t tried that option already.

I hope you find some relief from the pain soon.
