Hi everyone,
I had a neck dissection following tongue cancer removal about 12 weeks ago with no particular issues, but for the past 3 weeks have developed an intense earache/pressure in head that is causing considerable pain.
I have tried massage, heat, cold, and increased OTC medication, but I cant shift it.
ENT cannot find any issues. There is no infection. Consultant suggested lymph drainage massage but its not helping.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what did you do to relieve it/ how long did it last?
of note, after the pain started I had to go back in for my tongue to be shaved down and was given a local anesthetic. I had no earache while that anesthetic was active, so cant work out if this pain is due to something in the tongue, or something in head around wound site.
Ive not slept in over a week and would be grateful for your help.
Thanks everyone
