I had, and have lymphdemia, after three neck dissections, but the turkey neck from the ball under the chin basically subsided, and may be more fibrosis, leather neck, now on the left side neck all the way to my ear, left jaw, and maybe from working out with weights being I have a pec flap in my neck (my neck muscle was taken out) and my muscles are gettng bigger now, and so is my neck lol, really, and my chest was big before Tx anyway, so I expect it to continue unless I slack off. I'll get a full report on Thursday when I see my ENT. I have a sleep matic or similar brand bed, so the incline does help, and also does with the thick mucus as well. Sometimes it swells more from certain foods, occasinal beer, medicines, tooth infection, which is the purpose of the nodes anyway to rid the body of toxins, but most of my nodes are basically gone, but there are over 300 lymph nodes in the HN, most microscopic, unless they enlarged. Acupuncture may help, lymphatic drainage as mentioned, and there is liposuction being done in Nova Scotia, that reported good results, with no adverse effects, but I don't know if it's done elsewhere. Light exercise, like walking, swinging the arms above the head, swimming, sweating, saunas, and a trampoline gets the lymph fluids flowing, and helps with lymphatc drainage, but see your doctor first.
