Getting frustrated with throat pain post radiation

Hello I am 9 mths post radiation treatment. I still get the piercing pain every now and then and the dull ache is always present. I do find if I am tired the pain is worse. Eating is still a problem but it is easier. Not easy hang in there
Icy poles are great for pain relief

@sart Hello and welcome.
I often wonder how long it takes to get all of our nerves working normally after radiation, or is it the tissue cells rebuilding that gives us such misery at times. For me it was years, but only occasionally and for brief moments. And when that all finally went away, I had to have my mandible replaced which now five years later still gives me brief grief at the most unexpected times.
I guess these pains remind us of worse days behind. Good healing for you. Hopefully it all clears up in the the next year or two.
