Burning Sore Mouth & Tongue Now HBO

its been quite some time since I last posted. I'm back with an update and hoping to find others that can relate to my experience. 

First, and most importantly, I am now 21 month NED from tongue cancer. What a journey and I'd like to thank everyone for their incredible support.

I'm feeling much better, but I continue to have mouth and tongue pain. The doctors feel the pain is due to radiation and or nerve injury. I saw the ENT today and everything looks fine. Last scans in February were fine. I came off Gabapentin because it did nothing for me and am trying to manage with Tylenol. My tongue and mouth feels burnt And painful. The surgery side of my tongue has numbness and pain. Again, nothing worrisome but hard to deal with the pain.

I've started hyperbaric oxygen treatments and just finished my 8th dive today. I'm approved for 40 dives. I'm told that it takes at least 20 dives to see any improvement. I will say that the tenderness along my jawline has improved so I'm optimistic the HBO will help heal my tongue and mouth pain.

I'm wondering if anyone can offer insight into what I'm experiencing? Is there anyone else dealing with mouth and tongue pain so far out post treatment? What helped? Any feedback on experiences with HBO?

Thanks to everyone for being here.
