OP "OCF Canuck" Senior Member (100+ posts) Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 105 | My Husband Stephen has asked me to post these questions: Swelling inside my mouth & around my jaw is as bad or worst then 3 months ago( the end date of my treatment) My mouth is still soar and sensitive. does the pain subside once the swelling/scaring has done its course?
Looking for any sign of hope for some sort of normal, or any suggestion which would help. I am diligently doing my neck and mouth stretches twice a day as well as yoga once a day.
Look forward to hearing from anyone about this because the physicians in Canada either don't know or aren't saying, thanks Stephen
