The duration of pain from radiation therapy can vary, but acute pain typically lasts a few days to a couple of weeks, while chronic pain can persist for months or even years. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
Normally you will not have pain from radiation, especially at the beginning of treatment. You may feel pain from the surgery that you had one or two months ago from nerve regeneration.
