I still have ear pain 8 months out from surgery and 5 months out from radiation. It is the one, of many, pains that I get that worries me(first symptoms were ear and throat pain). My oral surgeon has me on Vioxx and it seems to do the trick for me. I am doing pretty well and sometimes I need to be reminded that all pain is not cancer and that having your jaw split in half is going to result in some lingering pain!
