Cheryl,
My doctor is a H & N cancer doctor. My pain is in the exact place it was before the surgery and my doctor said I had healed perfectly. I don't want to seem crazy, but dangit I want some relief from this pain. Once again, my pain is BOT, ear, back molar and same side as my uptake on PET Scan. Even though I had uptake, my Pet scan did say no mass definite indicated. I'm not sure if that is promising. My doctor did take out 9 lymph nodes with my Hyoid bone tip and they were benign as well as my lingual tonsillectomy. Quite honestly, their are only two more areas left to biopsy which are the areas I have been most concerned about. I thought he would get them in the lingual tonsillectomy, but he didn't.
All my testing seem to be promising, but same pain isn't.
I'm at wits end with this. He wants to send me to Neurologist, but Neuralgia pain is not constant, and mine is.
Thanks for insight and I appreciate you so much. I just want results and to be pain free.
