Brief Answer:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the best long term treatment plan

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since you are a cancer of tongue survivor and had undergone treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy and now is having pain from jaw bone necrosis i would advise you to go for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

In this procedure you will sit or lie comfortably in an enclosed chamber.

It works by flooding the body with pure oxygen at higher than normal air pressures.

This super charged oxygen level brings vital nutrients to the jaw area, regenerating cells and beginning the formation of new blood vessels.

It heals up the wound and stops further mouth tissue decay.

Jaw bone necrosis patients often report that their pain subsides or even goes away completely after a course of treatment.
