Problems from radiation
Comments
-
I have a glomus jugulare tumor on left side, near ear. Tumor and radiation did some damage to my bone, mastoid, I think. I am deaf on left side. There is a small opening in that ear, where eardrum was, left there during surgery by doctor who didn't know much about my kind of tumor. There is a little fluid that comes from there but not enough to bother me. Have you seen an ENT about ear?
I had 40 sessions at the hyperbaric chamber to strengthen the upper jaw bone before oral surgery and it worked. Radiation damaged my teeth and before removing them I was in the chamber before and after oral surgery. It worked very well for me and that extra oxigen seems to work well not only on bones but also on wounds that are not healing. My experience in the hyperbaric chamber was good.
Hope this information helps.0 -

My husband is having a lot of trouble with his jaw muscles, his jaw locks and he has trouble opening it and when he eats it locks. Do you have this problem if so what do you do about it.0
