Thx Christine &Cheryl, just notice your posts are on my 2nd page.

Cheryl, based on your experience, it seems the surgery side's tightness didn't go away after 2 years? Has it been relieved at least a bit as time goes with all the stretches & PT going on? As my husband has dissection on both sides, it is no wonder he has that tight collar on neck. Has the tightness pulled your head heavily? Did you lost some motion range on shoulder? Can you go back to a new normal way of life? If yes, would you share with us how you get thru all of such discomfort.

Christine, do you think the anti-depressant will help relieve his sensation on the tightness? I believe as my hub is constantly focus on his neck's sensation, it does make it feel worse. Do you think so?
