I understand the stressed part. My swelling in the neck was going down pretty well until about 3 weeks ago. It seems that if I do anything - housecleaning or the trip to the dentist yesterday and having to hold my jaws open so long - it swells again and gets very sore. Today has been particularly uncomfortable at times.

I wonder if some of the swelling is permanent.

Hope that the therapy keeps helping your leg.
