I am wondering if any of you have had radiation too soon after tooth extraction which has left you with exposed jaw bone? This is a very painful condition which requires my husband to take strong narcotics. He's been through 2 surgeries and hyperbaric treatments to aid healing but nothing has taken care of the problem. He hurts all of the time. (Is now 13 mo. from end of radiation.)Is it possible that this will ever cease? Or will he have to remain on narcotics forever? Won't they lose their effect after a while? (Think it's already happening.) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
