Getting frustrated with throat pain post radiation

Is it just your throat that causes pain? Same things as you, but my tongue is still numb and sore on the radiation side. I can’t push anything as far as food down without a lot of liquid. I’m so frustrated! Five months since chemo and radiation and I’m down 87 pounds. Good thing I was overweight or I’d have really big problems!

Sorry i just read this.
I have improved since Oct. 6 to the point i am eating more solids. Pain is not the issue. I have changed the way I eat however.: Small bites, chew well, chase with water or juices. I definitely do not eat as much as my throat seems to be smaller. I will ask my Dr. next checkup. Could be scar tissue or it just is smaller?
Hope you are seeing improvements.
