Neck Pain post operation

Hi Frank, it sounds like it could be things are healing up, and possibly you have had some nerves disturbed during the ops, which need some time to settle. It's good you are having a MRI, that will put your mind at rest.

Regards Ray.

Thanks for that, see what comes of the MRI 

Hi

i understand how you feel. I had a full neck dissection and had 54 lymph nodes removed. I have suffered from pain in my neck, shoulder and arm since then. The one thing that helps is hydrotherapy. It’s helped me get full movement back in my arm and shoulder. So get yourself along to your local swimming pool. I have been doing it every week since my therapy sessions at the hospital.

Hi Debbie

I had 18 lymph nodes removed one side and 12 from the other. I go to physio for my shoulder and that has helped a lot. It’s strange as it’s only one side of my face am getting this but as a said it was opened up twice so is taken longer to heal. Thank for the reply 

I had 2 neck dissections on the same side.  I did not suffer as badly as you seem to be but it took around 18 months before I realised I was "OK".  Time is the great healer along with physio.

Hi Frank

Good advice from everyone but I was wondering whether the dental implants might have something to do with the pain. Can you go back to your prosthodontist or whoever put in the implants just to get them checked. I had dental implants put in also and have not had any issues but did find where they were put in ached a bit  on one side when I was doing my mouth opening exercises and then that made my jaw ache for a while.

Just thinking of ruling out all possibilities.

Best wishes

Thanks Peter

Hi Sophie 

A think if may be part of it the implants healing, one of the implants actually worked it’s way out a a few weeks ago, so must have taken to the bone. It’s very annoying the pain am feeling, it’s not all the time but defo feels like everything healing. 

Thanks for the advice
