Hubby is experiencing some significant pain of his tongue. His doc has given him pain meds to manage it until surgery, and meds are indeed helping. The pain seems to radiate to his ear and down into his neck. (Doc is aware.) What I am wondering, is this something y'all experienced, pain prior to treatment? Does that fall anywhere in the realm of pre-surgical normalcy? I have done some searching on here, but I, myself, cannot seem to find info on that-keep in mind I am not the greatest at navigating searches on forums! I'm sure there is info on here somewhere but I am coming up empty, apologies for asking, yet again, something that has been addressed before. Thank you!
