Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I went to PT 3 times a week after both neck dissections and highly recommend it. My PT not only worked on the lymph nodes, but also strenghtening the arm and helping the scar to heal. I highly recommend it if you can find a good one and it should be covered by insurance.
Take care,
Eileen
