It seems I do have some nerve damage following the neck dissection- my lip won't do as its told! My children think its very funny but I'm finding it frustrating and being the vain creature that I am, I'm worried about how I look blush . My ENT surgeon said it could take up to 6 months to heal frown
I've heard that accupuncture and traditional chinese medicine (TCM) can help speed up the process. Has anyone tried this for nerve damage?
