Hello everyone. My sister had 6 weeks of daily oral radiation that ended on April 2017. 3 months later,with no sores,ulcers or dental problems she is still complaining of severe pain .Has anyone else experienced this and how long does the pain last? Thank you!

    pain

    should have subsided about 3 - 4 weels after trearment ended.

     

    She needs to use all the mouthwashes, 

    Everyone is different, but I barely touched pain meds
