Posted By: teamshrink New pain after 2 years? - 10-25-2008 01:49 AM
Hi y'all,

I had rad/chemo/dissection 2 years ago. I recently had a scan that was clear.

I'd been doing great until a few days ago, then I started having pain under my chin during chewing. I tried to continue, but it got worse and radiated to my throat and ears so I had to stop. Now it happens every time. It seems especially bad when I eat "sticky" foods like a brownie. I think it might be related to moving my tongue to move the food rather than the act of chewing itself.

This is my first real "setback" and I have no idea whetehr it's "normal," symptomatic, or what. Anybody have any ideas or experience with this?
