You are taking a very high amount of pain meds for someone who is a few months post treatment. I would suggest to make an appointment to see your ENT or medical oncologist to get your mouth checked out. Many of us have had thrush post radiation. Thrush can be very painful. You will need meds to kick it if it is thrush. Get checked out and on the right meds to help so you can feel better.
