18 months on from my surgery i still have odema under jawline , more pronounced on left hand side and the leathery tight feel. for 12 months i had pains in my uppper right arm and initially told it was permanent nerve damage and i couldnt move it very freely at all without intense belts of pain , then my surgeon referred me to a pshyio and 3 weeks after doing daily routine exercises its back to about 85 % . havent dont any for a couple of months and its just starting to hurt slightly so will have to get it back into my daily routines again. have nerve damage to lower lip on my left side and may need a minor corrective surgery but dr & i agreed to wait to see what its like when odema fully subsided.
