Good stuff. Thabks for the replies! Does anyone know when/if all this swelling and tightness will go away under my chin and on the left side of my neck? I'm worried this is lymphadema and would rather not live the rest of my life having a lymphadema caused double chin and a super stiff neck. I'm hoping it's just some swelling caused by surgery or whatnot.
