Hi Dinah:
Experienced somewhat the same thing but to the severity you are. After radiation experienced what felt like a toothache in my lower jaw, both sides. The RAD doc said was more than likely a side effect from the radiation. Gave me some exercises to do. Every now and them, but less frequently, will flare up. I did have a CT scan of my head and neck. Showed nothing out of the ordinary so for that reason it was worth having it done. I take 2 asprins and call the doctor to let him know.
