I had my thyroid and lymph nodes removed 10 days ago. I have a large sold wedge like wound (ie not flat). Has anyone else had the same surgery and if so what was your wound like please? How long did it take to heal? Thanks
It is scary when you feel a thick hard area. This gets better over time. I had a similar wound and now you can hardly see the scar.
