After the last season my dad went through, which ended the first part of August, the left side of his face has been extremely sore to the touch. I mean it hurts for the water in the shower to run on his face. It hurts when he pulls his T-Shirt over his head in the morning and at night. It hurts even at night when he lays his head down on the pillow. He trys to position his hand under his jaw bone so that the upper cheeck and temple area don't touch anything at all. I was wondering if anyone else has had this and if you could give me some hope that it will go away. The handful of doctors my dad has seen over the years don't seem to have any brains when it comes to this and act like the pain is really not that bad. I am sorry that this disease has plagued so many others but am excited at the thought of finally finding someone who KNOWS what they are talking about to ask my questions.
