I had my surgery Feb. 3, and part of that was a radical neck (whatever you call it when they take the lymph nodes out). Also 1/3 tongue, and floor of mouth.

Question: For the last few days I have had numerous sharp pains in the ear on the side where this was done. Anyone else ever experience this? I thought maybe it might just be feeling coming back, but unsure.
