Hello @kbates624 and welcome to our Head and Neck group.
Having pain from surgery and more so from radiation therapy is common but usually not to the extent you described. It looks like you are doing what you can. My only advice is to weigh each week against the previous week to gage if improvement in recovery is happening and is pain getting better to manage. If not, consult his doctors as pain is one area that medicine should be able to control.
The fight your husband is in will likely be the most trying time of his life. It is a difficult battle that must and will be won. Let’s see whom else jumps in here with an idea or two. Best of healing to him.
