Hi I’m 5 weeks post op maxillectomy reconstruction of radial flap to palate and Neck dissection.
How long does it take for the numbness and stiffness to settle?? I’m doing exercises and massage. I’ve also gone quite deaf in the ear on the side of the neck dissection as well as being numb, very odd feeling

thanks

Thanks for the update. That’s encouraging news Dani. Where do you get them from as I’d like to try them out? Also, what Aloe Vera do you use? (I’m assuming that’s for your skin?) I still get terrible itching around my neck dissection which nothing I’ve used so far seems to really relieve.

(On a related note, I went to get some Gaviscon from Morrisons on Saturday, £10 for a smallish bottle. However next to it on the shelf was another acid reflux preparation called Peptac Liquid which was about £3 for a 500ml bottle. I’ve tried it over the weekend and it seems to work well.)
