Hi.
Looking for some advice.
I'm 5months post radiotherapy on neck and woke up this morning with oedema in the area. I know its normal I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with it. Its quite tight and hot
Hi
I've just noticed your post in the radiotherapy group as I was looking through the list of unanswered posts.
Having had no experience with oedema myself I looked it up on the NHS website where it says, amongst other symptoms, to get in touch with NHS 111 immediately if:
It does say that oedema happens in the ankles, legs and feet so I'm not sure if this is what you have as you say the swelling is on your neck.
I hope that everything's okay.
