After 3 years I still have numbness in neck and shoulder and the tingles down the arm. Keep working on opening your mouth. As you get into radiation and drinking your food or using a peg tube it will be even harder to open your mouth. Radiation really does a number to those muscles. Can't tell you how frustrating it is to finally be able to eat again and not be able to get it in there! Good luck on your journey! - Kris
