Hi.
I had my left side of my thyroid out in Dec 24 due to papillary cancer and the right side in January 25 for precaution and then in July 25 I had RAI treatment. It is now over a year since the operation and sometimes my scar, although isn't very noticeable, feels a bit tight especially first thing in the morning. Was just wondering if anyone else had had this happen.
Thank you
I was advised to moisturise and do regular neck stretches by after care team
The Dr told me to put Bio Oil on which I did and still do when it feels tight but no one mentioned neck stretches to me.
