Jaw tightness due to radiation to the hed

by jlw0606, Mar 10, 2009 11:43AM
is there any type of exercises that i can do to eliminate the tightness in my face.
i had entensive radiation some years ago in order to treat nasopharyngeal cancer & since then all my
jaw & neck muscles have been spasming a lot, this past month has been the worst ever.
i have also notice more headaches too.  I been taking the usual OTC pain meds, but i am running into stomache problems because i been taking them too much of the anti-inflam meds.

thnx for any help
