Joined: May 2009 Posts: 1,412 | I am headed to the ENT today. Here's hoping he said it is jut radiation damage and nothing more. Been having intermittent neck and ear pain. The neck pain had stopped for a few days, but came back yesterday. I have a place on my tongue that is painful to touch and often times feels like a pin is poking me in that area. When I look at, I can see the changing, and looks different, but not a lump, it is sinking in. It is funny how our nerves just go crazy when any little thing changes in our mouths. I am going to feel silly if it comes back as side-effects of radiation, but how do we really now without it getting checked out.
