I had cancer of the left lower jaw gum and neck almost two years years. I had a 12 hour surgery where they took part of my left tibia and muscle and rebuilt my jaw and put titanium and screws to hold it in place. I am still having pain in the left jaw. They have tried botex shots and cortizone which gave me no relief. They have me on methadone swish and magic mouth swish. Today I had a cat-scan with contrast dye. It has only been 3 months since my last scan and I am concernd. I have also ben on 10 mg of vicoden and neurotin for the pain. Could this be some kind of nerve pain because nothing really is giving me mush relief?
Hello dear. I have gone through your case. So, the pain which is persisting even after 2 years of surgery is likely due to neuropathic pain. But you need not to worry. There are many better medications available today for neuropathic pain. You should consult a neuro physician regarding your illness. Hope that makes you clear. regards
