Donna, Did talk about this to both the ENT and the RAD doc this week. Haven't checked the board lately because I've been really shagged out with the treatment, but that's another story.

Neither seemed to overly concerned. ENT seemed like it's normal, as long as I can swallow, breathe etc. Says its from the radiation. RAD doc says it might be muscle spasms, caused by the radiation. To me it seems to be worse after I start moving around, walking a lot or such. So, RAD doc gave me some Celebrex to try, start with one 200mg pill, then if that doesn't work try 2 200mg pills.

I've also started trying stretching excercises on my own, looking up, down, etc. There's not much swelling in the areas that bother me, it does mainly feel like a tight muscle thing. Will keep a watch on it all.

I guess this all takes care of itself later on, I sure hope so.

Bob - thanks for posting. Sounds like everything is falling under the "nuisance" category - as opposed to the "this is something to worry about" one. (A much better option in the long run)... Anyways, If the docs aren't worrying about all of this too much - I'm sure that in itself can help a person breathe a bit easier. As you mentioned - keep a watchful eye on everything - and let us know how the Celebrex is working out and how things are going.
