Yep, bilateral radical neck dissection. I have major neck swelling, and numb in both ears, entire neck and tops of shoulders. I'll be talking to the doc about lymphatic massage.

What foods help?

What sleep position?

I am motivated to do anything to improve my status. I am anal about my physio, and have recouped a lot of my range of motion already.

Impart your wisdom sensei and this grasshopper will listen!
