I'm a little over a yr post treatment and am having periodic jaw pain on the same side that all of this happened. It comes on quickly, grows quickly in intensity (stops me dead in my tracks) then goes away just as fast. It is in the jaw, not the tooth and leaves a dull ache....any ideas?

I have similar symptoms. My pain is really almost exactly the same. I take liquid Tylenol (20ml) 3x per day. The pain has not disappeared, of course, but it has no edge or bite any more. I am able to tolerate it at this point. I consult with my Endocrinologist on this topic. She understands all the meds I'm on and says that if the Tylenol does enough it is ok in my system.
