The 5 FU is the culprit. I don't want to be negative, but my pain lasted for 4 months. I had to use a peg tube to eat for that lenght of time. Magic Mouth wash did not touvh. They gave me morphine, fyntenal, and oxycotin and they barley touched the pain.
All of the above answeres are good thing to try, but it may be someting you have to live with for a while.
